Kimbler Thu, 27 Aug 2009 04:32:37 +0000 http://domainnamewire.com/?p=7905#comment-468810 Network Solutions sold my business domain name (PalmSpringsMassage.com) after 10 years !! I am in shock. I paid them all the time, every year, year after year, when I received the notice of it coming due. I went on line and paid ever single year by cc. I hadn't received a notice this year and went to contact them, and instead just by that happenstance, went to "who is" only to find my business domain name sold to Shangi, China....Good grief!! I live in Palm Springs, California. I own the name (legally thru this county but not copywrited) Palm Springs Massage. (It IS a very coveted name here)..I was with Network Solution over 10 years and had this name registered with them. They recently sold it to Shanhi, China. They said I didn't pay since 2008 (not so) will have to do a big search but WILL find it. I am hurt, disheartend and this is my BUSINESS name. What a world we live in...I am sick and have lost faith in peope anymore. I don't think there should be ANY ANY ANY waiting for domain name as....you guessed it....the incentive to do the WRONG this is EVER PRESENT AND PREVELENT in the wrong, and belive me...there is a LOT OF WRONG IN THIS WORLD. I was invited to this forum to tell my story, and I hope I CANN will and can NOW see that this "waiting" for a domain to expire, it pre-meditates<<<<me< (?) after it was sold....give me a break...I HOPE ICAN will see the error of this "waiting" for a domain name to expire. I know what was done to me was absolutely unequivically UNETHICAL. I had a computer crash, but I am such a person of principle that I am going to take that PC in and get that email thru AOL which I sent to Network Solutions (they said I never paid....right NW) I want my business name back!!!

Verisign gets the rest, but then has to pay ICANN an annual fee. For .com, it has paid $12M a year and will start paying $18M a year. That's much less than a dollar a domain. So you're right, the registry is getting most of the money. But ICANN is getting getting more than 20 cents. @ Patrick -

There was one comment he made which I have to question and that comment was: "The vast portion of the fee in registration goes to the ICANN body." Unless my understanding is incorrect, I thought ICANN gets 20 cents per TLD (.COM,.NET,.ORG,.INFO,.BIZ) and Verisign and the other Registries get the bulk of the Registration fee. No?

ICANN need to more clearly define what a registrar can and cannot do. In other words, what is the real intent of registrar accreditation? And what are the boundary lines in regard to domain warehousing? @Ed Muller – Just read your ICANN forum letter. Very good points.
