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?
