ICANN Shuts Down DomainCannon, Owes $187,000 in Fees
Friday, January 29th, 2010
Domain registrar shut down after not paying accreditation fees.
ICANN has sent a notice of termination to New Orleans-based domain name registrar DomainCannon, citing a number of infractions. The registrar apparently owes $186,598.39 in past due accreditation fees. Additionally, it’s web site is not available, and it has failed to escrow whois data, the letter states.
The termination notice from ICANN also notes that DomainCannon is in breach of VeriSign’s registry-registrar agreement.
According to registrar stats, DomainCannon has 11,729 registered domain names.
It is good to see ICANN cleaning up its registrars. But that’s a heck of a lot of past due fees — more than I recall seeing on any termination notice. You have to ask why it took so long to terminate the registrar.

If someone could shut down Triple.com that would be great. They are completely unresponsive after touting a $5 domain sale on Thanksgiving 2008.
Hopefully ISPREG is next. Seriously, I’ve been pushing and trying to contact so many people about this ridiculous registrar it’s ridiculous.
If anyone at ICANN is reading this, ISPREG.
How can a Company owe $186,598.39 to ICANN ?
ICANN should have a 60 day credit payment policy.
What will happen to all those people that have the domain names registered with that f##ked DomainCannon Company?
The people – CEO at ICANN SHOULD take action much sooner and stop this nonsense.
It’s called domain tasting. That was DomainCannon’s problem, they continued to taste domains even after the fees were implemented.
