I am going to make this issue a topic for the next regional call (not the
name.com subdomain typo thing), what is and what isn't appropriate for the
list. It is an issue which has come up frequently.

Although I raised it. On review I guess I agree with John, it's not a big
deal.

John, I believe Name.com is also a Registrar.

 

Yes, they are.  But so what?

DNS hosting is a separate service unrelated to any agreement they have with
ICANN.  If the customers are unhappy with the service, they can go
elsewhere.  This isn't like sitefinder, it's just a random low-cost hosting
company doing random low-cost hosting things.

R's,
John

What does this have to do with ICANN or NARALO?  If you don't like your
hosting provider, switch to a better one.

Oh, they admit it alright.
