Most people would like the chance to be able to pick up the phone and either praise or yell at their web host, but these days it it a fading trend? The more web hosts I check out it seems like the phone option is not there or is so hard to find you would give up before finding it.
A few week’s back there was a news story not many made much out of happening that I though I could at least mention here. 
We have cybersquatting, but why not cybersitting or cyberstanding? Just doesn’t seem to be fair, does it? Personally growing a little tired myself of sticking “cyber” in front of anything dangerous or bad on the Web. We’ll cover that and many more deep thought provoking questions on this week’s edition of the Web Hosting Show.
There are often odd terms thrown about in the web hosting and web development worlds that just don’t make any sense the the common man on the street. Phil drops me in an e-mail asking…

Cybersquatting – Whats is it and Who Does it?
To those outside of the Online world, cybersquatting sounds like part of a work out routine you’d do with a digital Richard Simmons. I can promise you though that this is not the case. It is actually a very important issue that comes up in the world of domain name registrations.
It is registering, trafficking in, or using a domain name with bad faith intent to profit from the goodwill of a trademark belonging to someone else. The cybersquatter then offers to sell the domain to the person or company who owns a trademark contained within the name at an inflated price. At least that is according to the United States federal law on the issue, the Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act.
Now when people are squatting outside of the digital realm we live in, it usually means they are living in an abandoned building or some other space that the squatter does not own.
Back to the Online side of things, cybersquatters will actually register and pay for the domains in question and then wave it in the face of the copyright holder and sometimes even put up really bad things about them in hopes that they will want to give them a big ol’ check to shut them up and buy the domain.
For more information on domain name squatting I would highly suggest checking out ICANN’s uniform domain-name dispute-resolution policy.
