281,000 domains looking for a home
 

i guess all the online criminals will have to find a new home.

i read this on a domain forum last week.

sucks to be them

Hope they all get fucked over and end up losing their registrations... you just know all this shit get lumped into the porn world and they give us a bad name.

it's not so simple there
some more details over here: http://www.signbucksdaily.com/news/view/id/18/

there're ~25 pages on russion boards on this issue


btw EstDomains was the main registrator for most of russian webmasters. also many of them were using sister's company EstHost for hosting. many their sites, incl some paysites were down in case of this issue.

pwned........

esthost was the biggest trojan network BTW as well.

They should have been listening to their fellow WMs that have banned estdomains and esthost for a very long time now... All of us knew they were dirty...

no doubt

really except fraud many webmasters have big troubles. black side of EstDomains/EstHost wasn't a big secret, just wondering why people deal with them...

Lol thats a lot of names

really good to see some action being taken against spammers, malware and other suspect shit

serves them right.

Yes it is. They were scum, everybody knew they were scum... There are no innocents in this case...

What happens if ICANN doesn't find a new registrar?

imagine that, somebody actually doing something against all the shit:thumbsup

they'll probably just start up as something else down the road.

Anyone got the domain list?

now i agree :winkwink:

Spam domains?

It's good they finally shut those fucks down, but will the names just be transferred to other registrars allowing the scammers to continue?

That is good news. That is also a shit load of domains. Makes me look like a nooob with domains.

they tried at least 4 times to get a new home
According my last inside info, intercage owner Emile is packing up his servers out of the data centrum, he was the one holding hands with Estdomains
Sucks to be him, he fucked over a lot of good clients. His story was always that Estdomains was his biggest client, and without them he would not be able to keep his business up. A lot of clients were not aware of him opening the doors for criminals.After Intercage was unplugged 3 months ago, Estdomains moved to a new provider. Good to see they are going down!
