owners require some papers that they own the domain?! - DNForum - Domain Sales, Domain Forum, Domain Appraisals, Domain Registrars

since 7 years in business this is the first time one of my customers asked me for official letter from the "internet domain owner provider" maybe icann or something that he is the official owner of the domain so incase the domain is stolen or the company hosting his domain is out of business he can prove it and take his domain back no matter what.

whats the best thing todo in such situation?!

Make a "contract" style paper that puts the transaction on paper, like a receipt from you. If the customer trusted that you owned the name by buying from you, then he would trust your receipt.

The old NSI is the only registrar that I ever knew that used to send you an "ownership" paper.

You may want to clarify for him the difference between domain registration and domain ownership -just to be on a safer side.

Print out the Whois data that clearly shows the name of the registrant. Hopefully that helps. If he wants proof of "domain ownership", that is a different matter all together.

Give him a "Certificate of Registration" which states he registered the domain name on the registration date.

What he wants is really dumb anyway. Let's say he sells the domain name to someone else, transfers the name voluntarily, and then just lies about it and says the domain name was stolen.

That piece of paper is not going to prove one way or another that the domain name was or was not stolen.

I guess we have become a paperless society.
