I was researching and found GlobalHosting247.com amongst others. I ended up checking for reviews on them but found nothing. But I chose to risk it after doing some research. I later suffered because of them. I made enquiries about their domain and they promised that they offer ID protection (on WHOis) when I buy a domain name. This means that my information will either be masked or they would replace it with data of their own. This would protect my privacy. And I bought 4 domain names at separate times, trusting that they would keep to their word. I was later threatened with 2 sextortion mails because they didn't keep to their word. My data was exposed on WHOis and some evil actors used this to threaten me to send them money. I handled the situation well even though it was my first time. I felt disgusted, pained and surprised at first but I did some research and did not reply to them. This was because of GlobalHosting247's lies and false promises. I will transfer my domain names to a more reputable and transparent domain registrar. They refused to mask my data asking for more money. Advice: do not use your real data when getting a domain else you might suffer. |
