ICANN Accredited Registrar
ICANN is a technical coordination body. Our primary objective is ensuring the stability of the Internet's system of assigned names and numbers. This objective is furthered by the requirement that every business desiring to become a registrar with direct access to ICANN-designated top level domains must first become ICANN accredited registrars for this purpose by ICANN.
ICANN Accredited Registrar Problems
If you have a problem with one of the ICANN accredited registrars, you should first try to resolve it with them. If you can't resolve your complaint with the registrar, you should address it to private-sector agencies involved in addressing customer complaints or governmental consumer protection agencies. Although ICANN's limited technical mission does not include handling customer-service issues, we do monitor complaints about ICANN accredited registrars to discern trends. If you'd like to submit a complaint about a registrar to ICANN, please send an email to <registrar-info@icann.org>. Please include your name, your company/organization (if any), your email address, your phone number (optional), the name of the registrar, the specific domain names involved (if any), and a brief description of your problem or complaint. ICANN will forward your complaint to the registrar for review and further handling.
