ICANN puts a bullet in three defunct domain registrars

ICANN has terminated three registrars for failure to pay accreditation fees. The registrars— Abansys & Hostytec, S.L, NameHouse, Inc., and Gee Whiz Domains, Inc. — have been in arrears with ICANN for some time. Each owes between $7,000 to $13,500 to the organization.

According to ICANN records, none of the registrars had any domain registrations at the time of termination. So this isn’t much of a loss to anyone. The registrars have obviously been defunct for quite some time. Maybe ICANN should keep better track of its accredited registrars?
