Thank you for that information. While trying to add a nameserver form ours to the registry, I found out that they still exist. There is no list where I can see if they are registered or not. But I'm sure that I never registered the nameserver by myself in that registry. Im only sure, that I created the nameservers as we started our business, but that was all I did. > These registries also demand that foreign nameservers (i.e. non-.info > nameservers at the .info registry) are also registered; although the > rules > are a little less stringent.
