March 2013 dispute over ownership of the .vg, .tc and .gd registries [edit]

Domain name registrars such as GoDaddy have stopped accepting new registrations for .vg, .gd and .tc domain names since March 2013. [1] This is the result of a dispute over the ownership and control of AdamsNames Ltd. which had been the accredited registry by the IANA for those top level domains.[2] A former partner of AdamsNames Ltd. created a new company Meridian Ltd. which claims to be the new accredited registry.[3]
