information Register.to - Problems?

[BrandPlease]

Hi All,

Just read a thread on another forum (can I link? or mention?) but they indicated that register.to is down.

Is anyone aware of any problems with .TO? I dont have any, cant test, cant confirm if true. But wanted to pass along to see if NP can clarify.

quote from other site: (late Oct. post, I just saw today)

"Their DNS is no longer working, domains using their DNS are down. No working email, no contact phone number, no Facebook update about the problem, no Twitter update. Could this be a cheating company?"

the only other response was something about bankruptcy.

Anyone with any .to aware or is this non-sense. I would have expected to hear it hear first so I am hoping someone with .to knowledge can help out.

Thanks,

Interesting!

I will come back to see if anyone know anything about this case or experiencing the problem mentioned above.

Thanks for sharing @DnameAgame

I think you can share your source, it wouldn`t be a problem.

Seems like I can access their website, register.to

Edit: First time I am seeing domain renewal for 100 years It is on their home page.

Interesting

Yep, the first time I saw a 'forever' registration it blew my mind...as Kansas said 'nothing is forever except field and sky'.

OP...maybe it is something in the cache on your computer...do a clean, shutdown and restart to see if it helps.

If you can't test, don't have any, and can't confirm, what's the point of creating a thread on a bogus comment someone posted somewhere?

@HotKey sry thought I was doing the right thing by the community. Would you have simply ignored the comment? I am learning, if those types of messages are common and not noteworthy please let me know and I will refrain from anything further. If I understand - if it doesn’t affect me personally I should not bring it up to NP? If I can’t personally test a problem, I shouldn’t let the community know so someone who it would effect might know before they get in a real spot?

Like I said, Im learning and look forward to your recommendation as to exactly you would have addressed this for the community.

Thanks

What problem, exactly?

Everything gets caught in the spider web. So now anyone doing a search for the .to registrar in question or even .to domains in general are likely to come across this thread, which was solely created in response to some random comment seen off another board.

Until there actually is a problem that you are aware about or have seen direct proof of, I don't see the need have a negative connotation in a thread title which can be misleading in search results.

No, of course it doesn't have affect you directly, but you should have some familiarity of the situation, at least. eg:
- some clarification from the user who made the original comment
- some simple attempts to visit the site yourself

then you have some ammo in a battlefield full of clutter..
