Beware Domain Name managing

Post by Hugo Gavarini »

Hello,

With these lines I want to warn you about some registration companies behavior.

They use to SPAM over the web offering transferring, registering or renewing domain names at $14.95.-

But they have unreachable addresses, so you will not be able to make your rights worth. They shall not reply you anymore. Sometimes they use pseudonyms.

I was there, silly of me. And I was deceived by them.

Domainfactory.com is not the only company which I have detected.

Other spammers are, at least:

DomainsForEveryone.com

Affordable-Domains.com

When I dug on the matter searching through a WHOIS database for the owners of these companies names I have found some surprising results. You may verify by yourselves.

However, I have found a company which is trustworthy and provides that kind of service at lower prices, so this is not a matter of money but a case of decency.

I hope this will be helpful to you.

I'll second that.

I've had several domains with them for some time now. The price is right and their online domain management tools are as good as anyone's.
