Tucows takes over as Cheapies loses accreditation

ICANN has terminated the registrar Cheapies.com and is to transfer its registrations to Tucows.
Cheapies had fewer than 12,000 gTLD domains under management judging by the last available registry reports.
The registrar was terminated two weeks ago, having previously having its accreditation suspended for 90 days, for various violations of the Registrar Accreditation Agreement mainly related to records keeping.
ICANN said Cheapies’ customers should receive an email from Tucows instructing them how to proceed.
