[kictanet] Ni.ke hits the Kshs 1 billion (or $9.7m) mark in the premium domain auction of the .ke second level domain launch (Warning: This could be #FakeNews :-) )

Wed Dec 27 21:50:05 EAT 2017

@phares
I meant the main domain .co.ke (which is in intelf a sub domain), nothing
wrong in kenic holding the domain but selling where its A records and MX
records (and other cname / txt records as the case may be) to a third party
while still managing the sub domains.

@ngigi auction it and let pepsi vs coke vs other playera battle it out?
Interesting...
