Netcraft reports, that eNom moved to register the .info equivalents of nearly one million .com domains owned by its customers between Sept. 27 and Oct. 4. The domains were registered through Sipence, which has the same address as eNom.
While the domains were reportedly registered with the name and contact details of the owner of the .com domain, there is conflicting information on their intent. Some customers are being informed via email that the .info domains would be available for a fee. Other customers say they've been told there will be no charge for the domains.
Some eNom customers are asserting that Sipence/eNom has effectively acted as a cybersquatter, registering domains associated with their brands. But the scenario is somewhat different from traditional cybersquatting, since the .com owner is the listed registrant.
