I did similar on 123 Reg a few years ago to rescue a client.
Their ex IT guy had half transferred their domain from namecheap to 123, changing the IPS tags to 123 but not accepting from 123's end. Then he got fired. The NS's were still pointing to Namechearp so everything continued to work, until the domain expired because neither company felt able to renew it, both referring me to nominet to resolve. Meanwhile the client was hard down.
After retiring to the bathroom to have a think I realised that 123 didn't really care who accepted the domain as long as the tags were right. So I created a new account, initiated a transfer and went through the steps, and the domain popped into my account, able to be renewed.
I did wonder if there would be a way to mass import domains that people hadn't accepted into their accounts yet but didn't actually try anything.
- specialist 6y ago"...both referring me to nominet to resolve" How should the system work? I ask because I'm trying to understand how predators like Grubhub (the their proxies like Seamless) gobble up idle domains and phone numbers. And then try to figure out ways to mitigate, prevent, and more quickly resolve disputes. FWIW, I found Nominet's Domain Dispute's explainer. https://www.nominet.uk/domain-support/uk-domain-disputes/ https://www.nominet.uk/domain-support/uk-domain-disputes/ Next, I'll see what USA firms do. I'm especially interested in the legal framework (laws, rules, procedures). Any pointers are greatly appreciated, thanks. -- This Vice article is that one that got me spun up about this issue: https://www.vice.com/en/article/akzz8z/nyc-is-cracking-down-on-exorbitant-grubhub-delivery-service-fees https://www.vice.com/en/article/akzz8z/nyc-is-cracking-down-...
