    Looks like 85,000 names (use the email as reference) but no, never heard of them.

    whois.sc on cty dot us shows more than 140,000 which is very impressive portfolio.
    Imagine the budget for monthly renewal fees!

    Well, it's the results for "Domain Admin" which many others use. If you look at the email, it's down to 96,000, of which apparently 10,000 dropped (current report shows 85,626 domains).

    I think this is a registrar. I bought a domain name a few months ago with this Whois Information. I called the registrar and they told me its like a private whois and that they forward the emails to the owners but I dont think they do.

    The name that I bought was a name that expired but never deleted and the registrar took the name on the day it expired even though they legally cant, didnt give the owner any grace period and never went to auction. The owner had to fight to get the name back into his account.

    If I can remeber correctly it was Dotster.


    Update:

    Okay it was Dotster.com. They also took one of my clients domains as well on the day it expired and "sold" the name on the same day. I believe he now has his attorney involved as well. They do a lot of shady things at that registrar.

    no, actually they aquired dotregistrar several years ago

    and this domain still shows "IHOLDINGS.COM, INC. D/B/A DOTREGISTRAR.COM"
    they probably kept it as a separate registrar because of the drops

    Why they use Gmail address?

    It is not so professional as a common registrar.

    I had a few domains I wasn't sure I was going to renew at dotster then one

    day I noticed 1 (expired) domain was missing from my account while older

    expired domains in the same extension were still there . I ran a whois and

    RegistrarAds was showing as registrant .

    I emailed dotster and they put the domain back in my account which then I

    promptly renewed.

    In fact here's part of their reply

    Response (Jim P) - 05/16/2008 08:50 AM
    Hello,

    Dynadot is the best IMO, they have the simplest interface in the business and are really good at support.
