Top Notch Domains, LLC, a New Hampshire based domain investment and development company has acquired Salinas.com for an undisclosed sum. Salinas is one of the largest cities in the state of California, with a population of about 150,000 residents. The city is located approximately eight miles from the Pacific Ocean, and it is known for its exceptional agricultural industry.

“It’s been great developing our other geographic domain name, Lowell.com, which is expected to launch by the end of February. Once the Lowell.com website has launched, the development of Salinas.com will be our next major project,” said Elliot Silver, President of Top Notch Domains, LLC. “I am looking forward to learning much more about the city and visiting my friends out there! We will have a temporary website launched in the coming days.”

I read a post on DNForum this morning which mentioned that the US Government has seized the domain name WAB.com. According to a message on the WAB.com homepage, the domain name and website were surrendered to the government because of the owner’s violation of copyright laws. The former owner plead guilty “to conspiring with others to violate federal copyright laws.” As of the time of this post, the Whois information still shows the previous owner’s registration details.

It is interesting to note that I didn’t find any legal notices via Google for the guilty plea of the person mentioned on the website. Additionally, the Whois data shows the website is owned by someone in France.
