- thiht 5y agoA registrar cannot prevent you from transferring for something that’s not directly related to a domain dispute, that’s an ICANN rule, and a rule of most ccTLDs registries. No registrar can hold you hostage, or that could backfire horribly for them. Meaning they could get their ICANN accreditation revoked and basically get shutdown, and/or paying huge fees.
- prirun 5y agoHere is the contact page for Namesilo, the domain registrar I use: https://www.namesilo.com/contact_us.php https://www.namesilo.com/contact_us.php There are email addresses, a phone number, a physical address, and an online form to contact them. Have you ever tried to contact Google? I have, using a button they designed to contact them about Site migration problems. You think I ever heard back from them? Hell no. So if your gmail account gets hacked, sure - you are supposed to still have control of your domains according to ICANN's rules. But if Google only supports domain changes via email, and you can only contact them via email, and your email doesn't work, I think you'd be completely fucked. And complaining to ICANN about Google would just be pissing up a rope.
