Basically the same thing could happen to anyone. I own two domains with my name in them, both of which host my blog and a few random projects. Either registrar could hold my domains hostage and make me unable to receive mail for a week, just as easily as Gmail (which is actually where all my email is received at the moment, though I'm contemplating taking the plunge the other way.)
- nske 16y agoI have not researched this but I am under the impression that the registrars could not legaly do so, if you only use them as registrars and not as DNS service providers. I think they could refuse to provide DNS service, if you hosted your domain on their own DNS servers, but I don't think they could legaly on their own i.e. change the name servers that you have defined as authorative for your domain on the registry.
