Is apprentalonline an ICANN-accredited registrar?

No, we are not. We have integrated the registration services of several domain registrars, which are ICANN-accredited, into our member interface to provide domain registration. Our domain registrars  enable us to offer great prices and, more importantly, enable us to support our members ourselves, all the way through the domain registration process.

We have on several occasions considered ICANN accreditation and decided against it. The development effort required to individually integrate different systems for each registry would significantly detract from our core mission to develop the best possible web hosting. And once we went to all that development effort, we would have a domain registration service that would be essentially identical to what we can already offer; domain registration doesn't have a lot of room for innovation.

We would also have a lot of development expense and accreditation costs to recoup, which for a company of our relatively small size would most likely translate to several years of higher prices for our members with little additional benefit. Should we ever decide that ICANN accreditation offers our members some compelling benefit, then we would revisit it.
