After 1st Days After Registration The new gTLD Experience.Glass Is Suspended By The Registrar

April 4, 2014 by Michael Berkens

Just noticed that the domain name Experience.Glass which was just registered on April 2nd 2014 under privacy has already been suspended.

The registry, Donuts said that they did not suspend the domai,n so it must by the registrar which is in this case Godaddy.

The domain name’s whois record was updated on April 3rd to the name severs:

Name Server: ns1.suspended-for.spam-and-abuse.com
Name Server: ns2.suspended-for.spam-and-abuse.com

Believe me if your game is cybersquatting, phishing, spamming or any sort of that activity the new gTLD space is not for you.

    Google is trying to trademark the generic term ‘glass’ but so far the USPTO isn’t convinced.

    …and why should Google attempt to dominate one generic keyword? Why not two…or more…

    Challenged by Tiffany Glass, the Glass Menagerie, Alice – through the looking glass? Sorry, Google, this one is half full – hardly half empty.

    does anyone know what the domain owner actually did to result in the suspension?

    Let’s assume this is a clear-cut case of spam. Theoretically, though, what prevents the registry from shutting down an active site in this fashion in cases where the spam justification might be arguable / ambiguous or only a pretext?

    Michael, you’re a lawyer. What protection or recourse would a domain owner have if Donuts were to suspend domains willy nilly? Do you see something in the terms of service that can reassure domain owners?

    I’m not singling out Donuts or suggesting that they intend to abuse this capability. I’m simply curious about safeguards. After all, everything that can go wrong eventually does go wrong.

    What if this is just a simple case of buyer’s remorse.

    So a registry can arbitrarily suspend or cancel your registration without due process? That would be a troubling precedent which could be easily abused.

    The DNS servers listed are GoDaddy’s anti-spam/phishing standard method of locking down web sites hosting malware. I don’t see how this is a Registry lock.

    @Acro,

    What you stated above could hardly be considered an impeachment of Mugford’s comment since some Registry’s policies are implemented at the Registrar level; for instance, you may not purchase a two-letter dot whatever from a Registrar because the Registry won’t allow it. The registry won’t allow it because ICANN won’t allow it; ICANN won’t allow it because big business won’t allow. So you see how the Registrar DNS server could be, by proxy, an instrument of paternalistic lever.
