Can a registrar lock a domain?
 

For any reason??

like spam or whatever?



not for non payment or expiration

Godaddy can..

that's exactly who this is...


locked a non porn domain i have and say because of spam


and i've never spammed

and especially not from that domain

and have

I've heard so many horrors stories about godaddy ...

why ESPECIALLY if you have never spammed ... ?!? :P

oops, forgot to laugh :)


:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Unfucking real.
Without even any notice...

I just noticed that the domain name wasn't coming up

And did some research into it.


What registars do you guys use?

:glugglug

I have a number of domains with GoDaddy and so far no problem. Can anyone suggest someone else for future domain purchases so not all of my eggs are in one basket just in case?

i've never sent out SPAM emails...


but shit, we've all tried questionable stuff right

yup they did that to me and extorted 50 bucks out of me also

what registrar are you using now juicy?

Tucows


I left the crap domains on godaddy

May they all get gonnorea the godday fuckers

they never emailed me
never called
no kind of alert

i just happen to try to pull the domain up
and it didnt come up
a whois showed a lock on it


what the fuck?

Perhaps you haven't spammed but most spammers have no problem hijacking an insecure box and STEALING YOUR bandwidth and resources. And guess who gets blamed?

Go to openrbl.org and maybe google groups and type in your domain/IP. See what comes up. You might be a spam source and not know it.

You get what you pay for.

Directnic is a little more expensive but you won't have those problems and enjoy top notch support! :thumbsup

yep,they can and they do

Directnic sucks... in the past---I've had problems with them also...


Because one of my domains had a bad phone# attached to it.


I mean when you have a tons of domains--- how can you watch every fucking one...?

Call me -- or email me... dont just lock the shit you prick cocksuckas.

Who does everyone use...


holla

I'd try namecheap.com too . . good support. A friend of mine had the exact same thing happen with godaddy . . . it was one of those spoofed addresses in the email from field (they didnt even read the headers the dumb godaddy tards) . Threaten to suit them and tell them to produce the offending emails. I bet it's the same case. They close your acct or hijack your name for no reason because they have 12 year olds who use a FAQ and their feeble minds to run support so standard protocol for a spam complaint.
step 1. Tell complaintant you are sorry
step 2. shut off domain.
They don't have people smart enough to read email headers or investigate a complaint.

Ask Juicy :winkwink:

Godaddy alternative:

Namecheap: not ICANN accredited, but I like their paypal option.

Enom: get a subaccount from some one, or create your own reseller account if you own a bunch.

I use mostly Godaddy, but also namecheap and reg. fly. Never had a problem w/ GD so far. I like their .us/.biz/.info price.
