Ich weiß 100% SICHER dass tonic .to Domänen aufgrund von US Gerichtsbeschlüssen abschaltet, das sind keine Gerüchte. Dies wurde mir auf Nachfrage per Email von tonic auch bestätigt. Tonic ist ICANN Mitflied und somit verpflichtet Domänen abzuschalten sobald ein (US) Gerichtsbeschluss vorliegt. Nachfolgend noch als Beweis der Auszug aus den TONIC Geschäftsbedingungen:
"3. Cancellations, Transfers, and Changes.
We will cancel, transfer or otherwise make changes to domain name registrations under the following circumstances:
a. subject to the provisions of Paragraph 8, our receipt of written or appropriate electronic instructions from you or your authorized agent to take such action;
b. our receipt of an order from a court or arbitral tribunal, in each case of competent jurisdiction, requiring such action; and/or
c. our receipt of a decision of an Administrative Panel requiring such action in any administrative proceeding to which you were a party and which was conducted under this Policy or a later version of this Policy adopted by ICANN or the .to Registry. (See Paragraph 4(i) and (k) below.)
We may also cancel, transfer or otherwise make changes to a domain name registration in accordance with the terms of your Registration Agreement or other legal requirements. "
Und Zitate aus deren FAQ
What name can I register?
Tonic has reserved a number of trademark and copyrighted names. If you are trying to register a name and find that it has been reserved, please email [email protected] for more information if you have specific questions or needs. Other than reserved names, all names are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
.TO does not allow intentional homonym registrations. .TO has zero tolerance of malicious use of our ccTLD domain namespace. Registrations that are reported to be a "homonym" type registration used to perpetrate spam, phishing, fraud, or any activities deemed by Tonic to be inappropriate or illegal may be removed from the .TO zonefile without notice to the registrant.
Tonic is very serious about keeping the .TO domain spam-free. We have revoked - and will continue to revoke - registrations if we believe they are directly or indirectly responsible for the distribution of spam. If your domain name is being used, for example, for URL or email redirection you are responsible for each of your user/customer's behavior with respect to spam. If your business plan relies on making it easier for spammers to protect their identity while proliferating unsolicited bulk email, then there's a pretty good chance that we'll be revoking your domain name sometime in the future.
If you are planning to use your .TO domain for free URL redirection, be forwarned that this business is very difficult to run without becoming a spam harbor.
