I don't recall what the default setting is - I'll check around.

and type:
SOMEWEBSITE
and then hit Return or GO, my browser will take me to
http://www.SOMEWEBSITE.com
.com is the default destination for the browser/DNS.
I’m wondering if when you do that in Canada– type your destination, like ‘usedcars’, into the browser, then hit Go or Return, your browser takes you to http://www.usedcars.ca or if perhaps it takes you to http://www.usedcars.com or??

I did get confirmation from Sibername today that they do prioritize high bid names in the auction.
It also turns out that they made an error–I was allowed to bid on domains that they hadn’t actually won. That shouldn’t have happened.
Thanks Again.

I don't think what you are asking is happening, but I want to make sure I understand the question. Yes, most registrar admit openly that they go for the high dollar domains first.

Do type-ins from a browser in Canada resolve to a .ca address? Do Rogers or Bell or other big Canadian ISPs serve up .ca by default? About the .ca auction process... if the Registrars can only catch one domain every 5 seconds, it follows that they'd prioritize the high dollar bid domains. Los Angeles is a mixed blessing. Ultimately it IS the weather that keeps me here. Thanks Again! Hi Jeff (read your About)
