How to Register .ID domain names

February 20, 2008February 21, 2008 admin Leave a comment

To register the domain .CO.ID, local owner presence is required and domain name must be similar to company name or exact match of registered trademark in Indonesia. If you own the registered trademark for the domain but do not have a local contact, a local contact can be arranged for you, at a cost of $100 per year per domain. You must have a registered trademark in Indonesia to register .co.id domain names.

To register a trademark in Indonesia, you will need to visit http://www.dgip.go.id/ or contact an attorney to file for an Indonesian trademark. For more information about international trademarks, visit http://www.wipo.int/madrid/en/ . To search existing trademarks visit http://www.wipo.int/ipdl/en/search/madrid/search-struct.jsp and select “mark”, enter your word in the corresponding field and click “search”.

As far as we know, there is no .com.id, only .co.id is allowed. To register a .co.id (no such thing as .com.id), you will need to have a business registered in Indonesia. If you are unable to meet this restriction, you can still register a .web.id domain.

Domain Name Resolution Problems with PLDT and Globe DNS Servers

December 14, 2007December 14, 2007 admin 7 Comments

If you are getting weird problems connecting to the web, and are using PLDT’s or Globe’s DSL service, we may have a stumbled upon a less than optimal DNS entry on our side.

Lately, we have been receiving reports from our hosted clients using PLDT and Globe internet connection that they cannot view websites. During the investigation of the problem, we initially thought that there was temporary problem with PLDT’s DNS servers. As out test below would show, some other DNS servers on the Net did not have the same problem.

The details of our test show the following:

1. When the client is using PLDT’s DNS server (from DSL), the DNS query will fail.

>www.m*********.com
Server: ns2.i-gate.net
Address: 58.69.254.136

*** ns2.i-gate.net can’t find www.m**********.com: Server failed
2. When the client is using OPen DNS server, the DNS query returns a proper answer and succeed.

> server 208.67.222.222
>www.m*********.com

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: www.m*********.com
Address: 202.91.163.2

So we escalated the problem to PLDT’s top network honchos and asked them what they were seeing from their side. It seems that both PLDT and Globe servers could not resolve the IP address of one of the Name Servers on our side. But other name servers on the internet could.

While we were troubeshooting the problem, we advised our clients to use OPENDNS when encountering problems that are related to PLDT and Globe DNS server. Here are the instructions on how to change DNS settings to OpenDNS

After exhaustive investigation, it seems that our NS records did not have the accompanying A records. (In layman’s terms, it was not fully compatible with some of the DNS servers out there). So we corrected the problem, and with help from PLDT DNS guys,we were able to get confirmation that the DNS servers are now in sync and compatible with PLDT DNS.
