Re: [OT] Domain Name Registrars

All I want to do is have my registrar point the name server entries for a

difficult? Or expensive?

Is it my fault? Am I doing something wrong? -- I know, kinda hard to
answer that.

Without more detail, yes, however ...

My registrar told me my name server needs to be registered with ICANN.

Your registrar is smoking crack. There is no such requirement (nor could
there be). I am quite sure about this, I used to work at ICANN. I would
suggest that you run, do not walk, to transfer your domains to another
registrar. Then, I'd send ICANN a complaint about the registrar you are
using currently. karen.lentz@xxxxxxxxx is your best bet, assuming things
haven't changed too much since I left.

hope this helps,
