Why on earth would anyone register a .CA domains with Register.com, which does NOT allow just *any* modification on-line (incl. contact info and nameservers). The only way to do that is to call them, spell out the changes, and they'll send that via their ticket system, so you could acknowledge it. Can you believe it? And they are not even a CIRA-certified registrar (reselling for Webnames.ca)!
Not me, of course. I just signed up a client for web design and hosting, and her previous webmaster was stupid enough to use Register.com for a .CA, even when he is also Canadian. So I wasted an extra couple of hours, first talking to Register.com's silly support personnel (one of them insisted that their "not up-to-date" record is authoritative instead of the official CIRA whois), then transferring it out, and finally changing the registrant field back to the rightful owner (that stupid ex-webmaster even used his name to register the domain back then, so so professional!). Damn it!
