Dear Alpnames Customer,
As you may be aware ICANN has made the decision to de-accredit Alpnames as a registrar and has ordered the transfer of Alpnames gTLD portfolio to the CentralNIC Registrar Group, with the domains to be split between three of its ICANN accredited Registrars – Key-Systems GmbH, Key-Systems LLC and Moniker Online Services, LLC.
ICANN announced CentralNic's subsidiaries as the gaining registrars here and ICANN's transfer procedures are described here.
We were informed of this decision late last week and are now in the process of creating accounts at
for all Alpnames customers. The process will be completed as soon as possible.
Part of the process is arranging the transfer of the names into our management. Please be assured that we are working closely with the relevant domain registries to restore access to the domains as quickly as possible. We ask customers for their patience as we complete this process, we will only be creating the customer accounts once the domains have been transferred. Customers that own ccTLDs with Alpnames and require assistance in accessing and transferring these names please get in contact.
We will send a further email shortly with information on how to access your account at
, where all domains previously managed via Alpnames will be migrated.
A dedicated email address,
alpnames@moniker.com has been set up, where our support team can assist you. Our team will also be present on forums and blogs to answer questions.
Key-Systems GmbH and Moniker.com are part of CentralNIC Group PLC (LON:CNIC) a publicly traded company with over 14 million domain names under management. Alpnames customers can be assured that their domains are in safe and experienced hands and that access to their domains will be provided as soon as possible.
Welcome to Moniker.com, we look forward to supporting you moving forward.
Sincerely,
The Moniker support team
