    Along the same lines, most people here probably know this but it's bitten several of our clients: don't let your webmaster or someone register names on your behalf. Make sure YOU are the owner of your name. Speaking of making sure YOU are the owner, make sure the registration matches your driver's license. Sherry had trouble proving she was the owner since her ID said "Cheryl". Similarly married name versus maiden name - when shit happens you don't want to be mailing off for a certified copy of your marriage license.

      It seems like Spamhaus have banned/listed my domains for some reason.
      A lot of domains going to the same whitelabel-affiliateprogram have also been banned. (I didn't send any spam).

      The domains are still down but I've noticed that other domains from the Spamhaus list is working so I guess the problem is at Webair.
      (Not only other but all other domains I've tried is up and running except my domains)
      Get my domains UP!

        Had the same thing happen with Moniker a year or two ago. My domain was part of a whitelabel op that several people were spamming. My domain was suspended, without any notice. (I only noticed by accident.)

        When Spamhaus says jump, the registrar hangs out their tongue and asks "how high?"

          Spamhaus can BL your domains, or your IP's, for any number of reasons. I doubt that being hosted at webair alone is the culprit. Typically to get listed on their DBL (domain black list) there is something else going on. You would need to provide a lot more details then are in this thread to track down the source or root cause.

              Colateral damage.

              With a whitelabel every domain shares the same name servers and IP, even though they may belong to 100 different owners/affiliates.

              If Spamhaus blacklist the name server and/or IP due to a few affiliates spamming, everyone else's whitelabel domain stops working too.

                    Is moniker large enough? See above, they suspended my dom because of a blanket blacklist on a particular whitelabel program.

                    godaddy also suspended domains from the whitelabel, and I bet other large registrars did too.

                    The threat of having a registrars name server blacklisted, which would seriously impact their business (imagine a million customer domains suddenly not resolving?) means they will probably comply without question.

                      That is a legit grievance, however, that is not a problem of webair. You would run into the same exact problems at any other web host. If you are sharing IP's or name servers, Spamhaus will DBL everything listed on the name server, no matter who owns what.

                      That being said, the resolution of the problem is at the affiliate program, not at the host. If an affiliate program is going to allow mailer, it needs to separate them from their other CLEAN clients to prevent what you just described.

                        people either get duped into it, they are cheap, or they dont know any better pretty much. I host my domains with Godaddy. A lot of people say godaddy sucks etc etc. If you are mailing or your domain, or doing something that might warrant complaints. Maybe godaddy isn't for you. I personally use them because of the stability. I do not have any issues of godaddy being a maze of puzzles. It works perfectly fine for me, yes they have a ton of prechecked cross sales etc. But its not hard to uncheck them, or if you call back when you get billed for it. they will refund you without questions. This has happened to me a few times where i didnt uncheck the cross sale by accident. I always got my money back instantly. Also. They arent going out of business tomorrow. I used to host all my domains with RegisterFly for quite a number of years. They were a smaller company based out of NJ I believe. I believe they lost there ICANN standings and it wasnt long before they were basically out of business holding on to peoples domains. I got lucky and got mine out before any disasters, but I have heard some stories.

                        Godaddy is a huge company where domains is there business and I am not affraid of going out of business.

                            BEWARE! NameCheap runs many registrations through eNom

                            Even though NameCheap is ICANN accredited, they run many, if not most, domain registrations through eNom...

                            In those instances, eNom possesses the domain ... and despite one being a NameCheap customer, eNom policies ultimately control - that has burnt some NameCheap customers who found their domains put under registrar-hold (NameCheap can't override) by eNom.

                                they actually register ALL domains through Enom. Namecheap has about 100 domains registered through Namecheap for testing their back end, but the rest all get registered through Enom at this point.
