Hetzner just turned off our hole domain, without contacting us first at all! All servers unreachable, 10k angry customers hammering us. All because if they receive a trademark complaint they won't contact the domain owner first and give them reasonable time to "fix" the "issue" (even 2 hours would have been enough). No, they just turn off the production server and simultaneously send an e-mail "you better respond to their complaint if you want your domain back up".

Totally unprofessional and a complete joke. Will never use them on a production system again. Always angry if they are mentioned here like they are a legitimate choice...

Hetzner is a budget server host as is OVH, and which you shouldn't assume a professional service. You get access to a server, free hardware replacements and a network, that's it. It cheaper and easier to mitigate any issues by slamming the power switch and than notifying you.

Folk ask why I colo. And the why is because it's my hardware. If my host is to touch my kit without my permission or a subpoena they'll get slapped with a solicitor.

That doesn't solve the issue of making a domain unresolvable if the registrar chooses to do so like the case in here, or does it?

It can. By becoming your own registar. Granted that costs $$ but solves the problem of if a register is deciding to axe you.
