0

When I first started developing my domain names, I learned the importance of downtime monitoring. On some of my growing websites, there would be random times when the WordPress-based websites went down for short periods of time.

To be more informed about downtime on my websites, I began using a downtime detector called Montastic.

Trademarkia is a website I use occasionally to perform trademark-related searches. This morning, I noticed a job listing the company posted on LinkedIn that could be of interest to someone with domain registrar expertise. Trademarkia posted a job listing for a Lead Developer for ICANN Domain Registrar Integration.

From what I gather, Trademarkia is looking to build an in-house domain name registrar, and the new hire will be the lead person for its development. Here’s an excerpt from the post that details the job description for this role:
