Want to have a url like www.yourname.com, forget it! This sleezy company has used a legal tactic to register (they proudly state on their homepage) over 15000 surnames.
They imply this so you can have an e-mail address with your own last name, but seriously, what this really means, is that you CANT have a domain name consisting of your surname, because they have allready taken thousands of them!!!
Try a simple experiment: using your web browser, type a url as in: www.yourlastname.com, if it is not taken by a legitimate company for a true business site, or another individualy, chances will be that you will be redirected to their home page.
The worst thing, this is completely legal, unless your surname is a registered trademark, you have no recourse!!!
