When it is up, navigate to name-services.com and see the most dodgy shady looking site. It does nothing to instil confidence in this process. I had to spend a good 30 minutes trawl through Dreamhost's forums to get an official "OK" that this was a legit email.

eNom are owned by Demand Media, so that's pretty much what you can expect!

  Actually, they are no longer owned by Demand Media, rather they are a brand under Rightside.

    It's barely worth differentiating between Demand Media and Rightside Group (and Donuts, for that matter).

I had to recheck three times that I wrote "name-services.com" right and didn't land on "typo domain" by mistake. Nope, that's pretty much it.

Absolutely. I have a few domains registered with Dreamhost too, and I almost didn't bother to check because I was positive that email was spam. And the Dreamhost reps couldn't be bothered to write more than a few words about it on the forum. Namecheap and a few others seem to be sending out identical emails. For any phishers out there, there is an obvious opportunity waiting.
