    Well picked up Gazaly!

    Just sent the web site itself an e-mail. Will be interesting to see if they fix it, and how long it will take.

    Though the name Triton is quite common, the logo they used isn`t.

    The address I've always known is www.triton.net.au

    Now I'm a simple person when it comes to domain names, but I always thought the .net.au part basically implied an ISP.

    Triton certainly aren't an ISP

    www.triton.com.au seems far more sensible for mine.
    Actually I just tried that and it re-directs to www.triton.net.au!

    Suppose it should now be www.gmcompany.com

    Default dot what

    it doesn't matter what dot you have.
    the price verys a dot com is the most expensive for of ip addressing and any won can get what they want such as a .net or a .com or .org it all depends on what you want to get and if someone else already has the domain name you want. so you could have for instance a .com and a .net address. the big companies do this to make sure they are covered each way.

    hope this helps.

    G'day gazaly,

    It may be a deliberate ploy, but I'm more inclined to think that it's just an administrative goof-up; site mgt tells web admin to find a Triton logo for the vendor client, and said propellor head does just that.

    Often happens with small outfits who don't have the resources, the wits, common sense, legal savvy, etc to properly check out their site's content

    Cheers!

    PS I'd expect that Triton, the Aussie tool maker (or their legal beagles) will be on their case in pretty short order!

    They had to go for the .net one because the .com was taken i think.
    If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.

    Steve,

    I was thinking it was probably something along those lines also. It will be interesting to see if TritonJapan gets a reply.

    By the way, I wonder if this uni:

    www.triton.edu/

    does a Bachelor of Work Centre?

    That was true about a year or so ago, but since then, they bought the .com.au address, so now they have both.

    zathras is absolutely right though, .net addresses are meant to only be for ISP providers. Unfortunately, until recent times, the issue of domain names was pretty unregulated in Australia, so a lot of companies have incorrect labels. This is still true for the US, but not so for Oz.

    My guess is Triton have pushed their .net.au address for so long, that it will be a while yet until the advertising beast can have its direction changed to the new address, so both currently work.

    www.triton.com.au works, but still bounces you to the www.triton.net.au site.
