Registrar shenanigans ?
 

My registrar recently turned off one of my domains ( null routed ) because they didn't like that i had wildcard subdomains turned on.

The issue was that they said their trademarked name pointed to a page thru wildcard subdomains.

basically mysite looks like this
www.mysite.com

they didnt like that i had wildcard subdomains turned on meaning
anything.mysite.com pointed to a page much like the following drop pages godaddy uses for parked domains

http://pepsi.e--z.com
http://namecheap.e--z.com

do you think the registrar is right or wrong ?

Which registrar did this? I find this as an issue between the trademark holder and the domain holder, not the registrar.

directnic.

thats where the issue gets fuzzy , the trademark holder is my registrar

so it would be like if my registrar was godaddy and http://godaddy.e--z.com resolved to exactly what you see and i own www.e--z.com

on that page is godaddy drop page but if lets say i had the same type of drop page , directnic is pissed and null routed the domain simply because the subdomain resolved to a drop page

directnic is right up there with registerfly and godaddy when it comes to registrars i would trust estdomains over them :2 cents::2 cents:

What if you made a blacklist of subdomains where directnic.yourdomain.com would not resolve. Would that make them happy?

i'm not really sure thats possible. because it isn't a valid subdomain , its just wildcard subdomains, i could redirect in php based on the subdomain used but its still going to resolve as a valid sub , just it would go to dead page.

They arent answering emails, its been down for quite some time now :(
