Taking Domain Control Back from the Registrar? 101

Posted by Cliff from the whatever-happened-to-bidirectional-communication dept.
Patrick Clinger asks: "I run a large community Web site, and today I woke up to find that one of my domain names (proboards21.com) was disabled by my unnamed registrar -- my name servers were changed to NS1/NS2.SUSPENDED-FOR.SPAM-AND-ABUSE.COM and I no longer have access to that domain in my control panel. I am in no way involved in any spam activities, and the registration for my domain expires in 2007. I would expect at least a courtesy call or an email letting me know what happened, but neither was provided by the unnamed registrar. What can you do when suddenly a registrar goes off and takes control of your domain when there was no violation of your agreement with them? What is to prevent any registrar from taking over any domain when they feel like it? Right now my domain is in limbo, waiting for them to hopefully restore it to the correct name servers."

    My registrar just went out of business. Of course before they did, mysteriously, all of the contact information -- except billing -- was switched to them. And so I've got a couple of stranded domains that I can't move anywhere, at any price.

    Proving "ownership" is turning out to be harder than expected.

    I'm not sure there is anything you can do other than ask them to reinstate the domains unless you want to take this to court but that takes money and perhaps even more importantly, time. I'm not even sure suing them would get the results you want. It depends on what you agreed to when you registered the domain. It's vitally important to read all the fine print when making a business arrangement (like registering a domain). I think the rights and responsibilities outlined in the contract should be the prime factor when choosing a register, not price. All of that aside, a registrar suspending a domain for 'abuse', real or imagined, is ridiculous.

      Acually public pressure is one of the few things that *does* work nowadays.

      If a company will behave in this way then do you really think they'll respond well to polite e-mails and phone calls? No, they have to be faced with a cold, hard loss of business and a bad reputation.

      My first thought when I read the story was: Glad to see this guy is getting some help but what about all the thousands of other people in similar situations who *aren't* being featured on Slashdot?

      The domain registration system is horrible, quite possibly the worst part of online life with the exception of spam. If you run a business online then literally you can wake up one morning and find that your entire livelihood has been brought to a halt by one person, who you've never met and never talked to, deciding to suspend your domain.

      Note that this has never happened to me. If I sound bitter it's because I find the situation utterly frustrating and unjust, even though I have not been a victim of it myself. Yet.

    I must say that I'm very surprised by this response. I've had an extraordinarily positive experience with them, particularly BECAUSE of their anti-spam policy. They are very serious about complaints, but when I filed one, were definitely very careful about not arbitrarily shutting the spammer down just because *I said* they were a spammer. They contacted the spammer first, went back and forth with them and myself for a few days, and then shut them down when they would not stop.

    Based on my experience from the other side of the equation, you should have been contacted first. I'm surprised that you weren't. I would suggest contacting the President, Bob Parsons' office. When I called, I was told that he kept his number fairly easy to access because he prefers to be more hands-on and accessible to customers. I'm sure that he doesn't take the calls personally (I got voicemail when I called), but was told later that the issue had been referred by him personally to the abuse dept manager, who called me back.

    The " Office of The President" number is (480) 505-8828, and the e-mail address is president@godaddy.com [mailto]. Give 'em a call, and a chance. Everyone has given some variation of "you get what you pay for", but this customer has gotten far more than that in the past.

    1) Some person (a person I do not know) sent out an email to a bunch of people with their newsletter, and included a link to their message board that was hosted by ProBoards.
    2) Another person received a copy of that email, and took it as spam (it may have been -- although the email looks like a newsletter).

It is just like if I opened up my mail program and sent an email to a hundred people mentioning somewhere in the email "slashdot.org" and then /.'s registrar disables their domain by changing their name servers.

      This whole thing bothers me to no end.

      I've noticed this kind of thing happens all the time in life, and I really am starting to dislike it: Everything is going just fine, you do nothing wrong, someone else screws up--completely outside of your control--and it takes you time and money to fix it.

      I've gotten half-a-million-dollar tax bills because my state double-issued a taxpayer ID. I've been pulled over for speeding by the police within seconds of entering a highway, not even yet at highway speed, because my car happened to be the same model as someone they had clocked miles up the highway. I've had my ISP cancel my account when their credit card processor double-billed my card and marked the chargeback of the second amount as nonpayal.

      And now, I've got this to worry about, too. I have around twenty domain names with GoDaddy.

      I really empathize with you. This just sucks.

      I really hope that you can get the $250 refunded, talking with the right people at GoDaddy.com. Please keep us updated, if not here, then in your Slashdot journal. I can't imagine that they could keep the $250; I am amazed they actually made you pay it in the first place.

      If you cannot get them to refund the $250 within the next week or so, here is what I would recommend:

      Transfer all of your domain names elswhere (once you find a registrar of course). Then once they have been successfully transferred, dispute the $250 charge with your credit card company. You have 60 days from the date of your statement; so anywhere from 60 to 90 days from today, depending on when your next statement is sent out. It's as easy as filling out a form or writing a short letter and mailing it in. Your credit card company will side with you by default, that's how they work, and refund the money immediately. The burden of proof will then like with GoDaddy.com to show that they charged you this fee correctly; if what you have said is true, they will be unable to do it.

      Of course it will be a hassle, transferring your domain names. Hopefully it won't come to that, and GoDaddy will step up to the plate, refund your $250, and apologize. Let us know what happens. I wish you the best.

    I took a look, they haven't put the domain on registrar-lock.

    Just transfer the domain to another registrar - you won't lose anything other than a registrar you aren't happy with (i.e. the existing time on the registration is extended by a year).

    (Shameless plug: We offer domain name [omegasphere.net] registration for $10.95/year.)
  • What a bummer - I'd switch fast as I could too, as others here have said; but I'd take at least a day and find out who is good in this business, who guarantees you 'own' your domain name, etc. It's not always the cheapest who are best and safest, and it's not always the most expensive either (VeriSlime).
  • GANDI's French, but I spent a long time with a friend going over user policies and prices. GANDI has some of the strongest protections for the user (it's hard for GANDI to do things for your domain and easy for you to transfer it), and is still one of the cheaper ones -- though I think godaddy is still the cheapest.

    Whatever you do, avoid Verisign like the plague.
  • I had the same problem for about 40 of my clients. The solution was simple;

    1. I set up a DNS server 2. Transferred ALL domains to www.register.com 3. I changed all the DNS records for those domains to my DNS server. Cheap, easy and if you ever want a MX change or whatever, you don't have to wait ages for you provider to change and replicate. Not ment as advertisement for register, there are many like them, but that is what I did 2 years ago and I never want to go back.

  • ive been using 123reg.co.uk/.com for a few months and i havent had any problems with them. also they're cheap.
  • I resolved a dispute like this with my hosting company over the phone.

    I had designed a single page for a customer within a regional business district website I'd put together a few years ago. The business was a small, independent children's clothing and toy store with the word "Kiddie" in the name, and some whack job prankster had sent out some kind of inane spam that referenced the page for this store, along with a handful of other innocent pages on the web, advertising it as a child pornography site.
