Reasons why NSI sucks

One time, NSI changed all the nameservers I had for about 20 domains (including some not registered through NSI) because I put a 'Y' on a form and didn't look at it.?No password or anything.?It took a month to fix.?That was nothing in comparison to what happened to one guy.?He paid a lot of money for races.com, and during the transition, NSI put it up for grabs.?Someone got it, and he complained, so they took it back to limbo.?Then they put it up for grabs again and someone got it through register.com and they got to keep it.?John McLanahan got screwed and NSI is solely to blame, but they're legally protected.?Read more...

While I have to agree that NSI sucks and is a spawn of some place lower then hell (speaking from my own dealings with them) and they were the primary cause of this problem, the people at register.com were also partialy to blame and thereby also assholes.. by not being willing to ammend the situation. I will still of course always choose them above NSI though.

Yeah, but at least register.com was doing what they said they would. If r.c screwed up a transition and it didn't turn out the way it was supposed to, and someone bought it through a competing registrar, then they would be to blame. But they were just honoring their customer, and sticking to their agreements.

And here's another reason   reply

You go to the page, and fill out a change form, it mails you with a version 5.0 domain form, you send it completely unmodified, and it comes back with an error that for version 4.0 domain forms, you need to provide sections A-Q. Bastards.
