About one month before my one of domain at sav, printy dot co was taken away from my account without informing anything to me about it after 2 weeks of its registeration and management (changing nameservers and all) I complained it to nick and he told me it was a glitch and assured me it wont ever happen again, one can check comment HERE made by me during that time. I didn't made a big deal about it and let it go because sav is relatively new registrar and presumed that it was one off specially after i was assured by nick that it wont ever happen again.

But few days before on 20th feb i recieved email from sav that my one of domain bullionvault dot co will be taken away from my account and transaction cancelled as it was a mistake. Now this is worse than even previous incident as this domain was already more than 2 months old, i had registered it on 16th december. I had changed its namesevers several times including sedo, epik and dan and even activated its SEDO MLS fast transfer listing recently after its 2 months.

and it didnt stop there, i was doing a check on domains at my sav account after above incident and i noticed strangely for one of my domain consumo dot co the namesevers were changed to cloudfare (something that end user will use). I changed those back to where i wanted to list but with how things were going i was expecting its cancellation, and in one day i.e today i received its cancellation email, now this domain i had registered on 1st jan, 54 days before (almost 2 months)

Nick's answer is same that it was a mistake because of old system at place and with new system in, now it wont happen. But i feel this is unacceptable. as its not like those domains were just visible in my account. I managed those normally for considerable time after purchasing it, printy dot co for 2 weeks, bullionvault dot co for more than 2 months (64 days ) and consumo dot co for almost 2 months ( 54 days) so its dubious considering why i am able to manage domain normally for so many weeks? after its registeration, why is error not rectified immediately, even whois had my info, everything as usual and suddenly one day domain goes away.

even if it is genuine mistake and not suspicious then why should i always suffer for that? that too not once but 3 times for 3 domains. why its that everytime i am made up to give domain ? and not vice and versa when just like other party, i am also a customer.

I not only wanted to share this terrible experience and make you aware of it but also ask everyone a question that do you think Nick's apologies for all this is enough?

Since jan i have lost 6 domains, this month april lost two domains after ownership of 4 months. Printy dot co mentioned earlier i had registered in jan and lost after 2 weeks in same month.

@DnFolk - The final manual audit was done in March. If there are any domains you want us to specifically look at just submit a support ticket and we can share the details for that one specifically.

Been there done that. Contacting support and raising ticket but it doesnt work. Same old replies. End result is lost domain/s after months of registeration and management. Hopefully from now it wont happen.

Hello,

You can do this by going to My Domains, finding the domain, check it, then select Transfer Approve under the Bulk Auctions button.

Be nice and post in official SAV thread;

Otherwise, you know the drill;

“Sav email” is “Snailmail.” like all email (!)
Get a contact #, like most; still holding hope.

Sorry to see a new registrar have so much trouble. Problems like this will obviously kill a business if they are not resolved for good quickly! Good luck with things Nick! Do you need more good help? If you do, feel free to contact me. I know of a lot of talented people looking for work these days.

Pheenix going way of Alpnames.

Sav is still too early, but i get what ur saying. Both Sav CEO, and Pheenix, MIA.
Respect Sav more, since Sav has no history.
Pheenix worst customer service make you go hell to withdraw $25. These guys are clowns, and it’s telling, FreshDrop (same owner) offline

I believe Sav will outlast Pheenix,
Pheenix is a “Dead registrar walking.”
“Dead Registrar walking” living borrowed time.

Sav doesnt instill confidence, but not as bad.
Their CEO needs to make a public appearance and stop putting everything on @Nick R. Also, Sav needs add expedite transfer, 5 days’ sad, ICANN rules allow instant, —Sav is 5+ days!

Alpnames domains were moved to Moniker.

Pheenix domains still exist, I still meet their .PRO domains with frozen Expiration dates like 2018...
Why they are alive and were not dropped/removed by Afilias - I don't understand...
