  1. Internet Service Provider

Written by the company

NiceNIC is an ICANN-accredited domain registrar providing domain services since 2006. As a registrar, our role is to manage domain registrations, support transfers, and follow ICANN and registry policies, especially in areas such as abuse handling and domain compliance. Domain-related services often involve multiple parties, such as registrars, hosting providers, website operators, and third-party reporters, and the differences between these roles are not always clear to customers. Some experiences described in reviews may involve website content, hosting environments, or server-side issues rather than the domain registration service itself. We continuously work to improve response times, clarify processes, and provide better support experiences for our customers. NiceNIC supports individuals, businesses, and resellers managing domains across 2,500+ extensions, with a focus on transparency, stability, and long-term domain ownership. If you have questions or need assistance, our team is always available to help.

NICENIC is hosting Streamboo scammers

NICENIC is hosting the Streamboo.com scammers (engagement farming bots). I'd report this through NICENIC but I don't believe they would act appropriately based on NICENIC's track record with other shady enterprises and repeatedly failing to investigate other issues mentioned here.

This can be verified via the ICANN/lookup tools.

EDIT: The Streamboo.com site is still registered to the NICENIC servers at the time of this edit and the time of NICENIC's reply (Check ICANN/lookup). The statements are correct and NICENIC's publicity team is blatantly lying to cover this up.

EDIT (AGAIN): 10/08/2025 Nicenic is STILL hosting the Streamboo scammers. They haven't done ANYTHING about this crime ring. They're actively endorsing these criminals.

Unacceptable Unresponsiveness to Urgent Legal Issues

I'm writing this review to express my extreme dissatisfaction with Nicenic's customer service, specifically their complete lack of response to a critical report regarding the domains doxbin.com and doxbin.net.

I submitted an urgent request for the immediate takedown and suspension of these domains due to their well-documented involvement in illegal "doxing" activities and severe violations of EU GDPR regulations. These sites are notorious for the malicious publication of private and identifying information about individuals without consent.

Despite the gravity of the issue and providing clear evidence of their abusive nature (which is easily verifiable and widely known), Nicenic has failed to respond or acknowledge my communication in any way. This unresponsiveness is not only unprofessional but also irresponsible for a domain registrar. It shows a concerning indifference to legal compliance and the real-world harm caused by the content hosted on domains under their management. My primary concern, and the reason for this report, is the protection of victims' privacy, which these domains severely compromise.

When privacy and data protection are at stake, a prompt and decisive response is paramount. Nicenic's silence is a major failing that puts individuals at risk and undermines trust in their services.

I strongly caution others against using Nicenic if they expect any level of accountability or effective support, especially concerning legal or abusive content issues. Their inaction on a matter of this importance is simply unacceptable.

EDIT: the domains are: doxbin.com and doxbin.net.

Dear Jan,

Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention.

We take reports involving abusive or illegal use of domain names very seriously, especially when they relate to privacy, GDPR, or the safety of individuals. Please understand, however, that as a domain registrar, we do not control the content hosted on domains, nor are we always the hosting provider. Our ability to act directly is limited by international domain governance policies, but we are committed to following due process in handling abuse complaints.

If a formal complaint regarding the domains in question was submitted to our abuse team via our designated contact channel (abuse@nicenic.net), we encourage you to reference the specific ticket number or resubmit with complete supporting documentation if no acknowledgement was received. We will ensure it is reviewed appropriately and in a timely manner.

Thank you,

Dangerous Registrar That Should Not Be Trusted in 2025

NiceNIC is a registrar that operates with a level of negligence that is genuinely shocking in 2025. They suspend domains based on completely fabricated abuse complaints, without even attempting to verify the legitimacy of the report or the sender.

In our case, the abuse complaint came from a Gmail address tied to a fake domain impersonating a government agency. The site claimed to represent the IC3, but had no affiliation whatsoever. It was hosted on the same low-end VPS as another fraudulent “Interpol-style” site — both designed to scare registrars with dramatic takedown demands and fake legal threats. No company info. No verified ownership. Just poorly written HTML pages with AI-generated names, fake logos, and baseless accusations.

NiceNIC didn’t check a thing. They acted on the complaint instantly. Our domain was suspended in less than an hour — without warning, without communication, and without even basic investigation. The complaint had been sitting in their inbox for two full days before they decided to act. And when they finally did, they claimed we had 48 hours to respond — but the domain was already offline. Completely backwards.

And the most unbelievable part? This wasn’t even the first time. The exact same thing happened weeks earlier, and we had already warned them. We submitted proof that these fake abuse reports were part of a coordinated harassment campaign. NiceNIC admitted they were wrong, apologized, and promised to retrain their abuse staff and improve their processes.

They did nothing.

Same scam, same tactic, same result: domain down again. And their response? “If we get more complaints, we’ll suspend again.”

We showed them the domain age of the fake reporters, the fact that they were hosted on the same VPS, the Latin American timezone of the sender — all of it. Didn’t matter. No verification. No accountability.

If you’re running anything real — crypto, fintech, commerce, SaaS — do not go near this registrar. Your entire infrastructure can be wiped out by a Gmail and a cheap HTML template.

The only kind of “customer” that’s safe at NiceNIC is someone running junk — phishing, cloaking, botnets, malware. If you don’t care how long your domain lives, sure, this place might work. But if you’re building a legitimate business? Don’t even think about it.

This isn’t just incompetence — it’s operational failure at the core. And the fact that they’re ICANN-accredited is honestly terrifying. There’s no real abuse process. No oversight. No professionalism. Just someone hitting suspend on anything with the word “fraud” in it.

We moved everything out and will never return. If you care about stability, uptime, or having a registrar that won’t destroy your business overnight, avoid NiceNIC at all costs.

Total embarrassment to the industry.

UPDATE - answer to Nicenics reply:

NiceNIC’s reply here confirms exactly why I wrote this review in the first place. Their response completely avoids the central issue:

✅ They suspended our domain before even contacting us.
✅ They acted on an obviously fake complaint from a Gmail address linked to a non-existent “government agency.”
✅ They had already been warned weeks earlier about this attack campaign — and failed to adapt.

Quoting timestamps and saying you removed the suspension after we replied doesn't change the fact that you took the domain offline without warning, based on a complaint that should’ve been flagged as fraudulent at a glance.

And now, instead of acknowledging any failure in your abuse handling process, you’re writing vague apologies about "emotions" and citing email logs — as if that somehow explains or excuses anything.

You didn't verify the abuse report.
You didn't provide 48 hours to respond before suspension.
You didn't follow the basic principles of registrar due process.

This is not about “late responses” — it’s about negligence, and that’s exactly what this review warns others about.

Dear valued customer,

We sincerely apologize for the big trouble to your business and the bad impact on your emotions.

We are so sorry for the late response since our Abuse Team just realized you complained our Registrar on Trustpilot and Russian forum.

We re-checked all of the history complaints on your domain name n*******.com, and notice we communicated timely in the Emails and tickets, here is the summary of the event:

When your domain name was clientHold at the first time, namely at 2025-02-24 23:17:28, we removed the clientHold status in 10 hours at 2025-02-25 09:17:23 after we received your reply, we supported your counter-argument and explained the reason, you expressed your kindness to understand.

Unfortunately the next round's complaints came in, as we informed you by Email at 2025-03-18 23:54:28 and 2025-03-23 00:06:39, we received your reply at 2025-03-22 17:28:01, our Abuse Team judged the complaint based on the content and requested you to respond in 48 hours. Then at 2025-03-22 18:07:41 you got the auth code, we helped you remove the clientHold status and approved your transfer-out request to lower your loss.

We fully respect your right to freedom of expression, thank you for your contribution to spur us to further improve our services.

May prosperous business and good health be always with you!

Kind regards,

They use animedrop.live to scam people…

They created the website that looked like the official crypto coin animedrop, using animedrop.live, and scammed me with $3,000 through a blockchain contract. They run websites that scam people with crypto coins.

Update 9/14/2025
They are replying to this review saying they "responded" to me on-time and that I have received an email. All of that is a lie. I have never received an email from them. I hope you get a lawsuit.

Update 10/13/2025
They want this review removed and are working on flagging this as defamatory.

Total fraud site

Total fraud site! Think this way:
Are all those reporting this site as fraud delusional? I just got a text saying i owed money for road tolls, even though I have not travelled toll roads. They claimed to be the State of Pennsylvania’s toll collectors. pagovclient.com is the site they try to get you to go to. Except that site’s registrar is Nicenic International Group - look it up on WhoIs.com
I guess WhoIs.com is also lying? All the other domain registration sites lying also?
The guy claiming every report is lying is simply trying to save his ass by lying to you again. Simple Google research uncovers his multiple fraud attempts

Hosts crypto wallet drainers domains, does little to nothing when reported with evidence of fraud

I reported over 30 Alex Becker wallet drainers (some reported as long ago as October 15th). All 30 sites were confirmed malicious by ScamSniffer and evidence of fraud was provided to NiceNic.

NiceNic responded to only 2 of these complaints. As of today (December 2nd) nearly all the reported sites are still operational.

ICANN 2024 rules clearly states that registrars are to take action to mitigate fraudulent domains within 24 hours of a report of fraud. NiceNic does not follow this rule otherwise they would have taken down all 30 confirmed malicious domains.

Hello Vlad, if you say the domain name cryptotradehub.com, we informed you that it was complained by @nca.gov.uk, you took proper action and deleted the complained content/link, then we removed the clientHold status.

While if you say serverHold, this status can be only added by the Registries and I ensure our support or abuse team must have explained to you about the reason.
