The irony is that their actions can in fact make cookies their customers are using for their sites invulnerable.

invulnerable ? You mean "vulnerable", right?

Yeah, I meant vulnerable. My bad. :-)

Thanks for the correction.

May I ask where do you do your DNS hosting ? Do you host it yourself ? Or do you use a third party ?

for domains I'm actively using, I use Route53. For domains I'm not actively using, I don't mind name.com is parking.

I didn't mind name.com parking my domains either.

I do mind the idea of them treating ever possible 3LD as a parked domain, when my domain is not parked (and configured using their Name Servers).

I contacted Name over twitter and their response was sarcastic and they don't seem to care. https://twitter.com/namedotcom/status/307523296910532608
