PublicDomainRegistry.com: Another Registrar That Cares!

I have been reporting spam for many years. Reporting to the source where the spam is sent from does little or nothing. It's too easy to get another email account or hosting account and start over.

Reporting a site that is advertised in the spam (Spamvertised) can be more effective since when the site is taken down, the spammer loses their revenue stream and any email accounts that are connected to the domain that was hosted. But it's not too hard to get another hosting account and put the same domain there and start up again.

But if you can get their DOMAIN suspended, ahh that's the best because any effort that went into a site or email address for the domain is shut down and the spammer is out of business with that domain.

About two years ago I got a spam and the domain that was being spamvertised was not registered. Strange, but true. I guess the different departments of the spam operation were not on the same page, or someone made a typo when blasting off millions of spam emails. So after debating for minute, I registered the domain. I put up a single page, without ads, explaining what I had done. The domain was registered with Domainsite.com and despite what I posted, they suspended the domain. At the time I had never heard of a registrar doing this, and why me, a non-spammer? I was able to contact them and get the domain un-suspended, but ever since then I have been reporting spam domains to the registrar of the spamvertised domain. Most of the time I hear back that the site is not hosted with them or the email did not originate with them. No matter, I still keep reporting them.

Well TODAY I was pleasantly surprised by an email from PublicDomainRegistry.com:
=================================================
We have received your complaint for SPAM from xxxxxxx.com. We
are extremely strict and proactive with regards to our terms of usage.

Pursuant to our terms of service we have suspended xxxxxxx.com.

We have also sent warnings to the customer, all the contacts and
any associated reseller about this domain.

Thank you for contacting our abuse department.

Regards,
PublicDomainRegistry.com Abuse Team
=================================================
Awesome!

So, if you think reporting spam does not work, cannot work, will not work, and is a complete waste of time, you are wrong.

If everyone that gets spam would just report one spam a day, it would make a serious impact on the overall amount of spam that we all have to put up with. Reporting does not have to be hard, search Google or check
