After that whole thing about GoDaddy cutting off the domain name for a mailing-list archive mirror that happened to include a list of MySpace passwords, French registrar Gandi’s official blog emphasizes how they treat their customers better, with many a heavily documented and nominative example:

Mr.” X,” website designer, gets a phone call from Gandi informing him that one of his clients has been hacked and used in a phishing operation. The call is followed by an email explaining to him where the incriminated file can be found so he can delete it.

I’m rather glad that Gandi, whom I use to buy most of my domains (because I’m used to them, but also because they do inspire more confidence than the usual hard discounters) aren’t as quick to boot a domain name off as GoDaddy was (but then, in GoDaddy’s case, the original call came from News Corp., which does bear some more weight than a little phishing scam), but that doesn’t respond to the main concern one might have had hearing about that case: how is that any of the registrar’s business?
