CIRA is totally useless in resolving Cybersquatting (Bad Faith registrations). CIRA appears to promote cybersquatting. CIRA will not help you. You could always go to court at your own expense, but CIRA won't help you. I know.
DROC may send mail or e-mail to you about your domain name that is about to expire. The letter looks official and it tells you to reply by a certain date. DROC has found your personal info and DNS info on the Internet somewhere (perhaps with a whois search). This is a fraudulent request. You should contact the registrar you currently use. If you don't remember, you can always do your own whois search on your own domain name.
Do NOT respond to DROC. DROC (Domain Registry of Canada) is a FRAUD.

If you want to use custom nameservers for your DNS zone, you can do so by editing the settings in WHM. Just search for "Basic WebHost Manager Setup," then choose "Explicitly Set the Nameservers," and save your changes.

ipconfig /all, winipcfg /all
Provides: IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, MAC Address (= Physical Address), etc ... Wntipcfg.exe (for W2K), doesn't install by default even if you install the entire Resource Kit package on your computer. Instead, you need to extract the tool manually. To do so, open a command console and change to the %systemroot%\System32 folder. Insert the Windows 2000 Resource Kit CD in your CD-ROM drive (let's assume that's drive D for this example), and execute the following command:
extract d:\netmgmt.cab wntipcfg.exe
After the file is extracted, click Start | Run and enter WNTIPCFG.EXE in the Run dialog box. Now you'll have a graphical TCP/IP configuration tool that looks and works just like its Windows 9x/Me counterpart.
Range of addresses: from 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0 to 2562:2562:2562:2562:2562:2562:2562:2562 (decimal)
Range of addresses: from 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0 to FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF (hexadecimal)
FFFF (hex) = 65535 (decimal)
Any IPv6 address can be written as eight groups of four hexadecimal digits, where each group is separated by a colon (:). This, for example, is a valid IPv6 address: 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334; this can be abbreviated as 2001:db8:85a3::8a2e:370:7334.
IPv6 isn't backward compatible with IPv4. Transition will require encapsulation, tunneling or duel-stack routing where both protocols run simultaneously for awhile. Microsoft Vista will be duel-stack.
The IPv4 Internet has room for 4.3 billion addresses. About one-third are already in use, and more than another third are spoken for. IPv6 provides 2^128 possible addresses. Compared with IPv4's 32bits, IPv6's address reads 128 bits long. Imagine the number looking something like this – 360,382,386,120,984,643,363,377,707,131,268,210,929.
By 2012 about 17 billion devices will connect to the Internet, estimates Research firm IDC Corp. Frost & Sullivan's principal analyst for carrier infrastructure Sam Masud agrees. "2012, that's when we estimate the world will be out of IPv4 addresses," he said.
IPv6 is a next-generation Internet layer protocol that was designed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) to solve the problem of IP address depletion under the current Internet layer protocol, IPv4. While IPv4 has a fixed limit of around 4 billion IP addresses, IPv6 will have exponentially more, on the magnitude of around 340 billion billion billion billion (3.4×1038).
The trouble that IPv6 advocates and ISPs have run into so far, however, is that many of the ISPs' enterprise customers don't see the logic in investing time and money in IPv6 deployment during a recession where they have far more pressing and immediate needs.
Additionally, Curran said that merely switching to IPv6 isn't going to be a clean transition since IPv6 is not backward compatible with IPv4. Therefore, ISPs will have to support both protocols for the foreseeable future, as IPv6 addresses typically connect to each other over IPv4 networks through encapsulating IPv6 data in IPv4 packets and then "tunneling" through the older network. In other words, there's no simply way to flip a switch and have every network upgrade to IPv6 without keeping IPv4 around.
"There's going to have to be two networks, there's no clean way for us to solve that problem," he said. "For potentially decades we'll have to run IPv4 parallel to IPv6."
No anonymity: Since you’re the only one using that IP address, websites can use it to track you across the web.
More expensive than a shared IP address. Purchase a dedicated IP from your VPN provider for $1-10 per month.
Dedicated IP addresses are most useful if you prefer speed and ease of access online, and are essential if you want to connect remotely to a home or work network. In this case, a dedicated IP address offers significantly greater security than a shared IP address.
