Domains to Domain.com credentials — Dotster moves

Firm transfers domains between registrar accreditations.

If you start to see domain name registrar Domain.com growing in registrar ranking notes, there’s a good explanation for that.

Dotster, which owns Domain.com, has transferred the domain names from its Dotster accreditation to the Domain.com one.

I was alerted to this change when I received a DomainTools whois change alert on a friend’s domain name that I helped her register. My first thought was that her domain had been stolen, until I remembered that Dotster owns Domain.com.

I reached out to Dotster to find out what was going on. Brian Unruh, General Manager at Dotster, told Reglike:

Through acquisitions, Dotster historically has owned many registrar credentials. We consolidated them to deliver a higher quality client experience and better efficiency. In fact this change is just one of many that we’re making to improve the services we provide our clients. While Dotster.com’s registrations are now using the Domain.com credential, Dotster clients will remain Dotster clients and continue to receive industry leading service and care.
