Keep Quality Domaining In the USA

An article posted at DomainNameWire.com in response to online businesses moving outside of the US jurisdiction, particularly the domain name industry. Here are three reasons why domaining should stay in the good ol' USA.

• US = Domain / Business Rolemodel: Call it patriotic but the domain name industry is one of the strongholding technological industries hanging tough during this recession. US registrars like GoDaddy.com maintain a legitimate business model, offer five-star customer service, and aren't asking for any bailouts. Perhaps other fortune 500 companies can take a hint when running their businesses.
  
• U.S. Law Protects Domainers: Under the jurisdiction of US law, many domainers are protected. DomainNameWire states that in some middle eastern countries, government has the right to seize domain properties in certain circumstances.
  
• United We Profit: Canadian, Australian, Chinese or European, it does not matter what country you are from. What does matter is that we all profit under legitimate order. US based registrars, domainers and businesses have set a great example that many companies can learn from. This is why domaining is hotter than ever right now.
