How to avoid the .com typo-squatters

 
 

The typo-squatter top level domain .cm is being used to take your .com typo of .cm and give you a page you didn't really want (e.g. microsoft.cm instead of microsoft.com). Here is an easy way to avoid the .cm typo in IE:

  1. Type the domain name minus the suffix in the URL  (e.g. microsoft)
  2. Press the keys: CTRL+SHIFT+Enter

A www. will be added to the front of the name and a .com will be added to the end. Avoid the .com typo-squatters with IE shortcuts!
