this is some serious amateur-hour stuff on the part of the registrar. another example of why not to use random ccTLD top level domains. nobody remember when the .ly registry randomly canceled things they didn't like? when .cx canceled things they found objectionable?

At least if you use .ca, .de, .us or .com/.net (or similar) you can have reasonable confidence that the root zone won't fail entirely.

If something goes catastrophically wrong and kills your business that is run by a .CA domain, CIRA knows that businesses in Canada have access to legal recourses... Do you have the same with a .ly domain?
