ICANN Reviews 20

Pointless service that shouldn't exist. They don't reply for weeks, and don't offer any solutions to clear policy violations.

I’m frustrated with ICANN for not taking effective action against websites that openly promote illegal or prohibited services.

For example, sites like Jeffbullas and DeliveredSocial, Useviral, sidesmedia, host content that advertises services such as:
“Best Sites to Buy Google Reviews”
“Best Sites to Buy Trustpilot Reviews”
“Best Sites to Buy YouTube Subscribers”
“Buy Facebook Followers / Views”

These services are clearly illegal or against platform terms, yet the domains remain active and publicly accessible. It’s disappointing that ICANN, as the global authority managing domain names, does not enforce stricter policies to prevent abuse or stop these activities.

Users, businesses, and even other platforms are exposed to scams, fraud, and unethical marketing practices because of this inaction. ICANN’s reputation as a regulatory authority is at stake, and more proactive oversight is urgently needed.

I hope ICANN strengthens enforcement measures and holds domain owners accountable for promoting illegal or prohibited services.

On 06/06/2025 I checked three domain name ideas, which took me a while to create. All three were available. On 07/06/2025 I tried to purchase one of these domain names but they had all been allocated?

Strange or theft?

Yet another company that cannot be trusted.

Shame on you, I hope Karma comes for you!

Scumbags....

I had spent the last week transfering 3 domains from GoDaddy to Hostinger with no problems. My last domain was hosted by Verio. When I tried transferring my domain from Verio to Hostinger I received the message "because you didn't opt out of Icann you will have to wait 60 days before we can allow you to transfer your domain to Hostinger".....essentially they blocked me from transferring my domain....what a stupid and lousy compliance measure...never had this problem with GoDaddy....Icann has been nothing but an eyesore since the day it was conceived....watch out for this company ..they have no respect for the average webmaster ..

ALERT!! I have had an extremely disappointing experience with ICANN regarding the loss of my domain ownership for hongkong.nyc, a domain I have owned and maintained for over 10 years. Despite my continuous efforts to comply with their regulations, ICANN’s recent audit flagged my domain for deletion without prior notice or a clear explanation.

The lack of consistency in their policies and their failure to communicate effectively have caused significant disruption to my ongoing projects. The entire process has been opaque, and despite multiple follow-ups, I have received no concrete timeline for a resolution. This experience has severely eroded my trust in ICANN’s ability to manage domain registrations fairly and transparently.

Furthermore, their contractual compliance process seems flawed and lacking in accountability, making it incredibly difficult for long-term domain owners to safeguard their digital assets. I hope ICANN takes immediate steps to improve their processes and communication to prevent other users from facing similar frustrations.

Monopolio assurdo che tenta di regolare un mondo con stupidi sistemi obsoleti, aumentando di fatto lo scam e le truffe. NON SERVE A NULLA se non alla frustrazione di chi si trova a dover cambiar dominio e, senza nessuna motivazione, confermare che il dominio è suo.

Prohibiting the direct sale of domains without becoming an ICANN accredited registry is a violation of freedom and should be illegal.

In addition, ICANN charges an application fee of $3,500 to become an accredited registry, which is not refundable regardless of whether the application is successful or not, and requires applicants to pay an annual maintenance fee of $4,000.
Not only that, ICANN is a money loser, charging as much as $0.18 for each domain name registered.
ICANN is the Internet's governing and monitoring body for domains and IPs,
They are not doing their job, they are corrupt freedom predators who only want money, and they will lead the Internet to collapse.

ICANN is a fraudulent group that claims to be an Internet governing body while demanding high fees for not doing its job.

We need to get rid of ICANN for the sake of freedom and prosperity and restore the Internet as it should be, free and free of corruption.
It is time for a revolution.

This site is leaked many peoples data, you must pay for a very expensive price for hiding your prifacy and data.

the worst company i know. collects money from the hosters and registrars to then make common cause with fraudsters and criminals. all reports to ICANN are rejected and neither more and more information is requested...until in the end i am even asked to name the fraudsters...even if they were protected and anonymized by ICANN or the hosters

Not impressed. Procedures are designed for insiders, not for normal people. Now a wait of 60days before I can transfer a domain I was hosting for a friend's business to another provider. Now I've had to renew the domain when I was hoping to not do so. Time this cartel was wound up.

ICANN is a monopoly and is all about serving corrupt domain registrars. These corrupt domain registrars have exclusive rights to the best domain names. Some non registered domain names can't be bought by the general population due to Donuts Dropezone Service. The general population is forced to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on good domain names.

This company has the authority to prevent evil companies from buying small bossiness domains and relisting them for thousands of dollars...

Allowing those evil practices is terrible, and hurts small businesses.

They allow predatory anti-consumer practices.

Bunch of muppets keep pestering me to keep my details up to date. Why do you even need so many details when other registrars/TLD providers don't?

Great website for domain information and rules. I use them to see WHOIS of many domains!

they have gone so steep downhill. They no longer protect the interests of consumers, only of big money (& abusive) registrars. Shameful body is the ICANN of today.

A non governmental organisation. It organizes the granting of domains and IP addresses worldwide. It is closely linked to the United States Department of Commerce . The administration and management of domain names and IP addresses is the responsibility of this entity. But the present reality is that ICANN does not monitor domains and IP addresses properly. It is corrupted. It is allowing different kinds of fake and scam websites worldwide. Totally business minded. You can also buy a domain and can do start sscamin activities. They will never monitor it. You just need to pay domain charge yearly and they will get the benifit. There are tons of new extensions available. Thousands types of scam websites creating every minutes in the USA and outside of USA. They are doing scaming and fradulent activities. Thousand scam e-commerce websites creating everyday. Thousands and million of peoples are victimized by these scam and fake ICANN allowed websites. So think for a few moments where are we now!? We are ordered and regulated by a kind of mafia. So now it is very important to make awarness among the the peoples of the world.

Good work.

Very good domain rules.
