Trustname.com: Seeking review about this self-proclaimed bulletproof domain register. Are they reliable or not?

Hi,

Well, has anyone here ever used Trustname.com Domain or heard something about them?

They're openly advertising themself as a bulletproof ICANN registrar, and I talk with them; they give me a fast reply and say that they redirect the complaint to the hosting provider and check carefully if the complaint comes from an authentic source or not.

I can't find out many reviews about them, only some Trustpilot reviews and some articles, and this BHW user @abuse-master promotes it here.

So, if anyone has any experience with it, please tell me. Are they reliable? Are there any issues like account freezing, domain suspension, etc.?

Thank you!

Looking forward to hearing what you think about them.

Bulletproof registrars are always a bit of a gamble because they still have to answer to ICANN at the end of the day. If they really do redirect complaints to the host first, that's a good sign for privacy, but I'd still be cautious about keeping anything too valuable there without a backup plan. It might be worth testing them with a less important domain first to see how they handle a real DMCA notice.

To be fair, all registrars answer to the ICANN and must comply with legal and regulatory requirements and that's why their policies are often written in a broad and conservative way.

But some of the best bulletproof registrars will make decisions based on real operational experience and patterns they're seeing with fake abuse reports, etc., not just what’s written in TOS.
