As a registrar I can tell you it's been thought of. There are agreements in place with ICANN for every registrar that covers the possibility of an individual registrar going bankrupt. Your domain is safe. I obviously have bias, but I don't see why anyone would stick with NSI. :) -Brad Sys Admin Omnis Network, LLC -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG] On Behalf Of Leif Neland Sent: Tuesday, December 18, 2001 1:36 AM To: freebsd-isp@freebsd.org Subject: OT: What if registrar folds? If I've registrered a .com-domain at a registrar, but my own nameservers hold the domain, what happens if the registrar goes bankrupt? The domain is still registrered in my name, and the GTLD-servers will continue to point to my nameservers unless somebody actively removes it, i guess. It might be an inconvenience if I need to change whois-information, but nobody can "steal" my domain, right? As somebody else mentioned, I'm pretty sure some other registrar will buy the portfolio of customers quickly. So is there _really_ a reason to stick with overpriced NSI/Verisign?
