Suspended and seized domain?

Hello everyone

Due to a court order, some of my domains that were hosted on different servers were recently shut down and taken away. One of the hosts in question is orange, which, as an offshore host, usually doesn't help people who want to blow the whistle.

But I was told that they can't do anything about court orders that involve domain seizure.

But I've seen that some domains in the order that I don't own haven't been shut down.

Does anyone know how this could be possible?
 
It all depends on the registrar and domain agency that manages the specific TLD; for example, if it's a.com domain, feds will simply go directly to the company that handles it.
You should only use TLDs that have not been banned; all domain registrars must follow the laws that govern their country's formation.

Non-suspended domains include.co and.io, which are both protected by ICANN regulations; one registrar is namesilo, which is not offshore and usually cooperates with reports.
I'm trying to figure out how it's possible that the domains haven't been suspended under these circumstances.
 
A domain registrar is largely uninterested in you. They will comply if they receive a court order.
That is correct for a court order issued in the same country as the domain registrar, with the exception of EU and US courts, which no one wants to mess with.
If the domains that are not seized are not.com (or any tld operated by a company/organization outside the US/EU), they may ignore the order or simply have not yet complied. If it is a third-world country, it may be completely ignored.
I operate my business (selling domains/hosting) outside of the United States and the European Union, but I will strictly adhere to any court order issued by the United States or the European Union.

May I ask if it was a website for streaming movies?
 
Don't host such content on your server again. It's the most secure. Include a disclaimer about that as well.
This domain's owner, for example, is on vacation. Sorry, but you cannot contact us about the content on this page. Then include something like, "We do not host any content here." Thank you for your patience.
Do not use the exact word.
