Read about how .XXX will block your .COM
At the lunch discussion time after the .XXX panel (which Tom and Connor were on fire with their great points), i asked the opening question:
Many websites are run on virtual hosts, where one IP is used by multiple domains. If an ISP, firewall, proxy, etc does a reverse lookup on the .XXX domain and blocks by IP, wouldn't it also block the .COM as well (since it was on the same IP)?
The eventual answer from Jason Hendeles was that it is true that if someone was blocking by IP, that all the domains (ie. .COM) would also be blocked.
So for those thinking of purchasing a .XXX domain, and parking/pointing it to your .COM, your .COM can be blocked.
So if you are going to get .XXX domain(s), put it on a different vhost/IP.
Fight the public service announcement!
