Is domain registrar #eNom sympathetic towards #domain spammers?

Posted by DomainGang on May 4, 2019, at 4:01 pm

We often report WHOIS and zone file domain spammers, that usurp contact data from daily domain registrations. Due to the nature of our reporting, there’s often no time to open tickets with particular registrars. If they are active on Twitter, we send out a quick but accurate description of the problem. In recent weeks, we’ve […]

Partially degraded service at #domain registrar #eNom

Posted by DomainGang on July 12, 2018, at 11:01 am

Domain registrar, eNom, announced that some of its services are “partially degraded.” The issue is related to how some domain names resolve for active web sites, after the installation and configuration of SSL certificates: We’ve found the problem with Enom-hosted websites not resolving or showing the wrong website after installing or configuring new SSL certificate.

Domain transfers past expiration : It won’t work with eNom!

Posted by DomainGang on August 4, 2017, at 11:27 am

In a recent article about domain transfers past expiration, we came to the conclusion that they are feasible. Most domain registrars these days take a non-aggressive stance to losing customers, in hopes that overall they’ll attract more. Unfortunately, that’s not the case with eNom and its antiquated back-end interface, so an update is due on […]

NameCheap : No love for Tucows?

Posted by DomainGang on March 21, 2017, at 12:15 pm

NameCheap is apparently going on its own as an ICANN-accredited registrar, and not following eNom in the lap of Tucows. The latter, acquired eNom from Rightside, and NameCheap was an eNom (super) reseller for many years; the ICANN accreditation came in 2013. Now, domains registered at NameCheap don’t display eNom as the registrar, but NameCheap […]

Domainer jobs : Rightside / eNom talent available for hire

Posted by DomainGang on January 27, 2017, at 10:40 am

The recent acquisition of eNom by Tucows involved the unfortunate layoff from Rightside of several employees. Mergers and acquisitions condense capital and assets and while all effort is made to retain everyone, this is not logistically possible. We are aware of at least two hard-working former Rightside employees who did not make it: Bari Meyerson-Kissel […]

We continue our coverage on the 60-day lockdown period imposed to domain transfers by ICANN, when WHOIS information is changed.
