Trends Revealed in Registrar Abuse Response Stats

The registrar stats uncovers trends in scam takedown compliance. Most notably, Amazon Web Services and Hi-load.biz at the bottom extreme, with a high repeat-report rate. Over half of all abusive domains needed multiple reports before any action was taken, while Internet.bs and GoDaddy follow closely.

Most abuse reports require re-reporting, allowing abuse to go unchecked for days or weeks, underscoring persistent gaps in domain registrar enforcement and ICANN abuse policy.

Green Sets the Standard

In contrast, registrars with a 0 % multiple-report rate highlights the impact of swift abuse takedowns. The abuse reporting trends tend to show better response times from smaller registrars, typically with in-house abuse teams. Smaller registrars can honor aggressive SLAs with near-instant takedowns and virtually no repeat filings, thanks to leaner portfolios, strict onboarding/KYC (know your customer) checks and dedicated compliance staff.

Large Registrars Struggle with Abuse Reporting Loads

Large registrars juggle millions of active domains and farm out abuse desks to third-party vendors with quantity prioritized over quality. This approach dilutes accountability, creates sprawling ticket backlogs and requires multiple abuse reports before a bad actor is finally placed on clientHold status.
