DNF News [1/2] 🎖️ DNForum: New Profile Badges Are Live!

[HelmutsHelmuts is verified member.]

Hi domainers and domain businesses! We have added fresh business badges so your profile can flex your biz creds at a glance.

• ICA Member
• ICANN Accredited Registrar
• Registrar
• Registry

Why bother? Trust, credibility, and a little sparkle next to your name. It helps members (and lurkers!) know who they’re talking to — and it can send more deals your way.

How to claim:

1. Reply in the announcement thread with what you qualify for.
2. Or, use your business email and share a public page that confirms your status (ICA directory, ICANN/NIC lists, etc.) by emailing me @ [email protected]
3. .. after this, we will verify and add the badge to your profile. Easy.

Note: ICANN Accredited Registrars are checked: https://www.icann.org/en/contracted-parties/accredited-registrars/list-of-accredited-registrars

--

Ahh, yes, one more thing You can also tag the group (please do not abuse this or we will be forced to disable this functionality), like: @ICANN Accredited Registrar, @Registry, @Registrar and/or @ICA Member

Is there a DN business badge that is missing here and you would love to have or see?

Thanks Helmuts!

We invest in domain names and use our own accreditation to host most of them. We also provide domain registration and management services to our customers.

Good afternoon David, greetings from Latvia (I'm currently here),

Would you like (maybe) a free (complimentary) conference ticket for attending DomainSummit.asia this November 17 in Hong Kong?

Best wishes, Helmuts

Good morning

You already have the ICANN Registrar badge. Is there some other bage you would like to have?

Registrar badges:

• @Registrar - a domain name registrar that has at least 1 ccTLD accreditation, though doesn't have an ICANN accreditation, yet
• @ICANN Accredited Registrar - domain name registrars that have an active ICANN accreditation (usually, a higher level registrar)

Does this help?

Great! Just added you a "Hosting Provider" badge. Please update your DNF email to your business email so it matches your domain > and I will mark you as "Verified".

to get the Registrar badge > you need to have at least 1 accreditation. probably the simliest = @it.com Domains accreditation .. DNF hack
