Pheenix 减少了他们的注册表连接，他们现在没有同样的火力，因为他们的连接更少，昨天有一些来自 Domain Incite 的公关。
上周有448家注册商被解雇，所有这些公司显然都是由三大滴滴捕获公司之一Pheenix运营的空壳。
基本上，Pheenix已经抛弃了大约90%的认证组合，其中约300个不到一年。

ICANN 终止了 450 个丢弃捕获注册服务商
凯文·墨菲，2017 年 11 月 6 日，20：09：53 （UTC），域名注册商
最近几天，近 450 家注册商失去了 ICANN 的认证，这实现了对域名流失市场低迷的预测。
据我估计，上周有448家注册商被终止，所有这些注册商显然都是由三大捕手公司之一Pheenix运营的空壳公司。
基本上，Pheenix已经抛弃了大约90%的认证组合，其中约300个不到一年。
这也意味着ICANN失去了约15%的付费注册商。
Pheenix 为 ICANN 的固定认证费用节省了至少 120 万美元，这还不包括可变费用和基于交易的费用。
它的马厩里还剩下大约 50 名注册商。
被终止的注册商要么是编号的有限责任公司——例如“珠穆朗玛峰 [1-100] 有限责任公司”——要么是以随机的历史或虚构人物或魔法剑命名的。
此举并不出乎意料。ICANN在编制2018财年预算时预测，它将失去750名注册商。
副总裁赛勒斯·纳马齐（Cyrus Namazi）早在七月份就表示，下降捕捞市场不足以支持Pheenix以及竞争对手SnapNames/Namejet和 DropCatch.com 在过去几年中创建的数百个壳牌注册商。
Namazi 当时表示，经济衰退对 ICANN 的预算至关重要。我当时估计，ICANN 认可的注册商基础中约有三分之二属于三大主要注册商公司。
在Domain Name Wire发现威瑞信专利申请涵盖检测和缓解该领域“注册商勾结”的系统之后，另一个理论是，威瑞信将通过某种集中式服务撼动.com下降捕获市场。
ICANN估计，它将在10月份开始以每季度约250个的速度失去注册商，这似乎正在按照预期进行，因此清洗可能才刚刚开始。

菲尼克斯增加了300名注册商，以增加捕获武器库
Kevin Murphy， 十二月 16， 2016， 16：08：34 （UTC）， 域服务
域名掉落的军备竞赛正在升温，预算玩家Phyenix本周从ICANN获得了300多个注册商认证。
根据DI记录，该公司现在在其家族中拥有近500个注册商认证。
更多的认证意味着更多的注册管理机构连接，当过期的域返回到可用池时，可以尝试获取这些连接。
这也意味着Pheenix的dropnet（我刚刚编造的一个词听起来有点像“僵尸网络”，在我的职业生涯中可悲地试图创造一个术语）现在比 Web.com 大一点，是Namejet和SnapNames背后的注册商池。
它仍然远远落后于DropCatch的所有者TurnCommerce，后者两周前增加了500个新认证，使其总数超过1，250个。
额外的 300 项认证将使 Pheenix 花费超过 100 万美元的前期 ICANN 费用，并将产生超过 120 万美元的固定年费。

Pheenix has terminated 450 registrars. Only domains from 49 of those will go to EnCirca.

Pheenix was terminated recently by ICANN. And looks that their domains were moved to EnCirca and some of them dropped.

Pheenix has lessened their registry connections, they don’t have the same firepower now as they have less connections, there was some PR about it yesterday from Domain Incite.
448 registrars have been terminated in the last week, all of them apparently shells operated by Pheenix, one of the big three drop-catching firms.
Basically, Pheenix has dumped about 90% of its portfolio of accreditations, about 300 of which are less than a year old.

ICANN terminates 450 drop-catch registrars
Kevin Murphy, November 6, 2017, 20:09:53 (UTC), Domain Registrars
Almost 450 registrars have lost their ICANN accreditations in recent days, fulfilling predictions of a downturn in the domain name drop-catch market.
By my reckoning, 448 registrars have been terminated in the last week, all of them apparently shells operated by Pheenix, one of the big three drop-catching firms.
Basically, Pheenix has dumped about 90% of its portfolio of accreditations, about 300 of which are less than a year old.
It also means ICANN has lost about 15% of its fee-paying registrars.
Pheenix has saved itself at least $1.2 million in ICANN’s fixed accreditation fees, not including the variable and transaction-based fees.
It has about 50 registrars left in its stable.
The terminated registrars are all either numbered LLCs — “Everest [1-100] LLC” for example — or named after random historical or fictional characters or magic swords.
The move is not unexpected. ICANN predicted it would lose 750 registrars when it compiled its fiscal 2018 budget.
VP Cyrus Namazi said back in July that the drop-catching market is not big enough to support the many hundreds of shell registrars that Pheenix, along with rivals SnapNames/Namejet and DropCatch.com, have created over the last few years.
The downturn, Namazi said back then, is material to ICANN’s budget. I estimated at the time that roughly two thirds of ICANN’s accredited registrar base belonged to the three main drop-catch firms.
Another theory doing the rounds, after Domain Name Wire spotted a Verisign patent filing covering a system for detecting and mitigating “registrar collusion” in the space, is that Verisign is due to shake up the .com drop-catch market with some kind of centralized service.
ICANN reckoned it would start losing registrars in October at a rate of about 250 per quarter, which seems to be playing out as predicted, so the purge has likely only just begun.

Pheenix adds 300 more registrars to drop-catch arsenal
Kevin Murphy, December 16, 2016, 16:08:34 (UTC), Domain Services
The domain drop-catching arms race is heating up, with budget player Pheenix this week acquiring 300 more registrar accreditations from ICANN.
According to DI records, the company now has almost 500 registrar accreditations in its family.
More accreditations means more registry connections with which to attempt to acquire expired domains as they return to the available pool.
It also means that Pheenix’s dropnet (a word I just made up that sounds a bit like “botnet” in a pathetic attempt to coin a term for once in my career) is now a bit bigger than that of Web.com, the registrar pool behind Namejet and SnapNames.
It’s still a long way behind TurnCommerce, owner of DropCatch, which two weeks ago added a whopping 500 new accreditations, bringing its total to over 1,250.
An extra 300 accreditations would have cost Pheenix over $1 million in up-front ICANN fees and will incur ongoing fixed annual fees in excess of $1.2 million.
