If the domain is in status "redemption" then you need to contact the registrar ASAP and pay the redemption fee which is about $200.Some registrars are shady in terms of redemption, right before it would enter the official ICANN redemption period they will pay the renewal themselves, and then if...

I have never seen this, I deal with people who insist on using GoDaddy for some odd reason. After they blatantly violate ICANN rules and regulations and hijack a domain I refuse to use them.

In theory no. Do not talk with the debt collector at all! Ideally you should just get a tax attorney familiar with the Colorado law, but you could also call the relevant department in the state of Colorado and talk with them and chances are they will at least be able to explain their position.

Right, but the government can tell which tax return stands out. So if you make 100,000$ and you write off 99,999$ then something is probably wrong and they can audit you.

Even if you have a trademark (not a patent) you still would have to foot the legal expenses to have the domain taken down, if that is even possible. And seriously if you have had the business for 6 years, you never thought to invest $10 a year for the domain?

That seems ok. However 2TB drive is probably "green" drive? If/when you start reaching a bottleneck it will probably be the disk and due to MySQL usage. Something like 146GB 15k SAS would be better for heavy MySQL loads. But you can deal with it when the issue arises. Make sure you setup good...

Everyone has good suggestions and I agree. if the account is in good order and nothing seriously bad done with it, better to sort it out. Since if you open a new account it could be fine, and then one day you have a large sum and it gets blocked, and then you send your documents and they notice...

When you make a purchase you can input what address to ship it to, but maybe then if you use an address associated with previously blocked account you will have problems. So maybe if you want to be extra paranoid, you order things you don't plan to receive.

I had a nigerian scammer send me drivers license and credit card, looked like paintbrush work.

The easiest way is going to be like suggested above: get Windows VPS and use Remote Desktop -- no VPN. Windows VPS costs more than Linux VPS because 1) the technology is different (it uses more resources) and 2) the provider needs to pay for the Windows license, where Linux is free. So there...

The issue is the dimensional weight. When a package is large (the carrier has an exact definition, like a side longer than X inches) then the "weight" that is billed is based on a formula of the package dimensions. So even if the forwarder has a 10%, 20%, 30% discount with the shipping company...

Yes once the dispute is escalated if there is no response from the seller then PayPal will "review" the matter and make a decision.However if you don't escalate, it's a dispute but it is more informal as the buyer and seller communicate with each other and try to reach an agreement.

In my office I have a proxy server that logs all the access. I can also block based on category with a list like UrlBlocklist

I think a sales rep to deal with prospective customers would probably be the best in your situation.

Check for trademark infringement. Defending a trademark case is expensive. If you are a corporation you MUST hire a lawyer, can't do it yourself!
