Domain reclassified as premium. I need advice.
Hi. I own a domain that was non-premium when I registered it. It was non-premium when I renewed it last year. When I went to renew it today, I noticed it's reclassified as premium. I have ~4 years of daily logs for the classification (from Namecheap's APIs). I'm not confused. I understand...- Points: 25

Domain reclassified as premium. I need advice.
As far as I know, and in my opinion, that's fine. If the domain is available and the registrant agrees to premium pricing, that's their choice. I wouldn't do it because the pricing tiers are not well defined and no one can tell you what the rules are (if there are any). For example, the...- Points: 22

WARNING: Dynadot Issue, No Expiration Emails, CEO Response
I wouldn't handle it like the OP, but I can understand the frustration of trying to figure out if there's any recourse. I don't think there's much recourse beyond ICANN asking the registrar to explain what steps they've taken to remediate the issue. I tried looking at the page the OP was...- Points: 20

Domain reclassified as premium. I need advice.
This is the main issue for me. The registrar is Namecheap. I want to reiterate that Namecheap didn't do anything wrong with the exception of, in my opinion, giving poor quality support. I emailed them a few days ago and got this response. I would expect all registrars to have clear training...- Points: 19

Domain reclassified as premium. I need advice.
Did you end up having to file a complaint with ICANN to resolve that? How did you get it fixed? Thank you. I used that contact info to attempt to contact the registry a second time, but didn't get a reply. It may not have been reasonable for me to expect the first point of contact with...- Points: 14

That sounds awful for consumers. I understand the futility of playing domain-by-domain whack-a-mole, but I don’t understand why you can’t reserve drastic action like this for accounts that have actually engaged in creating new domains to repeat abuses. It’s so frustrating that registrants...- Points: 12

Domain reclassified as premium. I need advice.
Yes, it's .help. I also have daily logs for the same keyword in about 300+ gTLDs going back to 2020, but they're dumped into text files and it would take me a fair bit of effort to parse them. I thought the keyword had a high probability of being reclassified or, at the very least, having...- Points: 12

Registries blocking domains on Google's Safe Browsing blacklist.
I'd like to know if any Namepros members know of any other registries doing this. There's an interesting thread on Hacker News today. It links to a blog post with a warning about RADIX's misplaced confidence in Google's Safe Browsing blacklist. The OP shows correspondence from RADIX about a...- Points: 11

Sav Official Thread
This is from the other thread. Thanks for taking the time to reply. My interest is in the broader topic, not just how Sav handles it and your reply helps to illustrate that it's not a simple problem. Everything is subjective and needs to be handled on a case-by-case basis. I agree with that...- Points: 11

Domain reclassified as premium. I need advice.
ICANN hasn't given me an explanation for the discrepancy. I have no idea what kind of communication they have with the registry, so I don't know if the registry has some kind of explanation for it. I'm honestly not sure how to judge it because it seems like it should be a simple query to a...- Points: 10

Domain reclassified as premium at Name.com & priced at 10x original renewal!
That's me :) To clarify, I did NOT file a complaint against any registrars. In fact, both Namecheap and Porkbun made a lot of effort to help me. Both provided me with information and statements that significantly improved the quality of my complaint against the registry. If the domain was...- Points: 10

Domain reclassified as premium. I need advice.
There are two people on Reddit worried they've had their domains reclassified this week: This person in /r/webhosting (they also posted in /r/namecheap). There's also a post in the domains subreddit today that I can't seem to link for some reason. These caught my eye because the first one...- Points: 9

Domain reclassified as premium. I need advice.
I got a reply from ICANN earlier this week. I've sent them a reply explaining that I don't agree with how they've interpreted the registry agreement. I don't plan to post anything significant here until I get a response. However, I do have a question for anyone following this thread. Part of...- Points: 9

WARNING: Dynadot Issue, No Expiration Emails, CEO Response
Yes, it's not reassuring, but it's true. What do you think they could do better in this situation? They told you it was a technical failure on their side and they have, or will, fix it. My way of dealing with stuff like this is to give everyone the benefit of the doubt. The first time it...- Points: 8

Identity.digital just released 21.155 Premium Domains, including chat.info!
In my opinion the whole point of premium domains is for the registries to do an end-run around section 2.10c of the registry agreement, so assume they'll all be premium. Another question that anyone considering these should be asking is what the renewal price is going to be next year or in 5...- Points: 8

Domain reclassified as premium at Name.com & priced at 10x original renewal!
As I've dug into it, I'm stunned by the lack of registrant protections when it comes to premium classified domains. That's left me with the opinion that registrars should refuse to sell them until better rules are put in place that protect registrants (aka the registrars' customers)...- Points: 8

Suspending an entire account with 93 domains because one got an abuse report isn’t a reasonable response in my opinion. Registrants should have a right to see the abuse reports that registrars and registries use to justify domain suspensions. It’s ridiculous that consumers don’t even get an...- Points: 7

Domain reclassified as premium. I need advice.
Do you have those listed on aftermarket sites? I think that can get them listed as a premium domain. I don't like it, but I dislike premium domains in general. Disliking premium domains is something I'll explain on my website if I end up setting one up. Premium domains are a complex product...- Points: 7

I'm also really interested in any registries that have agreed to voluntary pricing schedules (aka caps) with registrars. I know I read an article a few months ago about one of the registries doing that, but I haven't been able to find it again.- Points: 7
