Well... not that it can't happen, but I have been very happy with namecheap.com. GoDaddy was getting on my nerves with the endless advertisemens they had.

"Make sure you house your names with a reputable and reliable registrar." Easier said than done. Even the aforementioned NS and GoDaddy have had less than stellar track records. I'm researching now to find a more reputable registrar for all the domains I manage for my clients. And so far it's been quite depressing. I don't suppose Mr. Dozier can pass along specific recommendations for registrars that are truly reputable and reliable? Probably not... what with client/attorney privilege and such. Oh well... my search continues. Thanks for the legal insight and advice.

Hi, I saw this post referenced at Subliminalmessages.Com. I have a lot to say, so I apologize in advance if this is long winded. First of all, registrars need to be held accountable. They should 1.) be required to have another ICANN registrar named as a godparent in case something should happen, and 2.) they should be required to have insurance. Lots of it. If people haven't yet figured out that domains are property, they soon will. The analogy is obvious. Just as a bank requires homeowners to carry property insurance (and title insurance, too), so should registrars carry the necessary liability insurance in case another registerfly disaster occurs. Imagine the initial guys who were trying to renew their precious cyber property only to realize that their requests for renewal were being ignored. Huh? That's just wrong. The worst part is that in cyberspace, no one will hear you scream. Sure, ICANN got involved months later, but how did that few those whose domains...

Great suggestions and very true. Goes to the point of spending a few more dollars and going with a tried and true register like NS or Godaddy. Yes it cost a few pennies more but in the long run, attorney costs or otherwise really aren't worth it. Still isn't worth it. Scott Neuman Recordweb.com
