Unauthorized changes in nameservers

[Tom K.]

I don't know if anyone else has run into this, but recently I had noticed at least 2 domains of mine have had their nameservers change "mysteriously", one was to a Domain Sponsor (information.com) parked page and the other to Godaddy parked page.

I don't know how many other domains in my 400+ domains I have with them have this issue. Guess I have to check one by one.

This is not the way for a registrar to put ppc money into their own pockets.

If I catch this again I'll have to move my domains elsewhere.

Anyone else have this happen to their domains?

could it be a domain that you 'bought" from someone and forgot to change the "ns"

it has happened to me before

Have your domains expired? Otherwise, you should inquire and know the truth.

 

[Tom K.]

No. Both domains have been with me since I registered them.

One I reg'd in 2002 and the other is a client's domain. No reason to have the nameservers change.

Or are the nameservers you were using previously now lame?

What do you mean by "lame"?

Meaning - are they working?

Yes they are. I had to go in and switch them back to the original setting. But even if they weren't, GD shouldn't be switching them to their parked page. If I want the domain to point to a dead server then that is my option.
