Vendor-Lock Hosting - Corrupt Procedures (Jeff Noyes)

Ordered Domain names and paid for said Domains plus Hosting. When I went to transfer a Domain to another Host, I found that the Domain Names I had purchased were in Jeff Noyes name and not mine. After repeated requests for the EPP Codes, I had NO choice but to NOT renew the Domains. Have now lost 10+ Domain Names. Greg Burgess Have attached files. If you need anything else, please message me. Thank you for the support Greg

Dear Greg Burgess,

Thank you for your response. ICANN has reviewed and closed your complaint because:

- Based on records provided by you to ICANN, ICANN did not find that the registrar had violated its obligations under Inter Registrar Transfer Policy. You are not currently listed as the Registered Name Holder or the Administrative Contact (the 'Transfer Contacts') in the Whois information for the domain name that you are complaining about.

- Your complaint implicates a private dispute between you and a third party. ICANN’s authority is purely contractual and limited to its contracted parties. These are some alternatives that you can consider for obtaining a domain name that someone else has registered: (1) Work out an agreement with the current registrant; (2) Wait and see if the current registrant lets the domain name expire; (3) File a lawsuit in the appropriate court against the current registrant; and/or (4) Begin an administrative proceeding under the Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy. For more details on this option please go to http://www.icann.org/en/help/dndr/udrp .
ICANN considers this matter now closed. If you require future assistance, please submit a new complaint to ICANN at http://www.icann.org/resources/compliance/complaints .

Please do not reply to this email (replies to closed complaints are not monitored by ICANN staff).

ICANN is requesting your feedback on this closed complaint. Please complete this optional survey at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/8F2Z6DP .

Sincerely,

ICANN Contractual Compliance

I find VendorLockHosting.com to be the best and cheapest, not sure what you're complaining about . I've never had any problems with my domains there.
