Hey John, that does sound sketchy. Are you sure you haven’t been the victim of some phishing scam and that you’re using the right website? Domain-inc.net is being flagged by my browser as insecure and looks like one of those addresses scammers would use to make people believe they are related to the original website.

There are some ways to get a free domain but nothing you would want to use for any professional purpose.

I registered or tried to register a domain name with Domain.com and it has been very sketchy to say the least. Here is what I have experienced:
1. I sign up and 2 days later still have no login info

2. I get 2 e-mails immediately after I sign up that my phone number was changed. I have no idea why that was generated.

3. I contact support and they tell me to send a license scan cause my account was accidentally flagged as invalid.

4. Then I get a support e-mail from compliance@domain-inc.net indicating to set-up automatic payments and temporary link to set-up my account.

5. Then I get another e-mail from domain.com which failed DMARC spam test indicating my account is set-up and ready to go -just click on embedded link(no thank you) and that my credit card was charged. I never used a credit card.

6. I checked and my domain names are still available.

Has anyone experienced anything like this?

Domains that you already own usually don’t get more expensive and your domain registrar of choice should clearly state the cost of domain renewal upfront.

Seems like they could gouge me when it is time to renew.

Depending on the popularity of the keywords in the URL, some domain names can be more expensive than others.

How can they do this? This seems fraudulent.

Hey Pedro, migrating your domain from one hosting provider to another should usually be free of charge as you only need to change the DNS servers. You can find a description of that in this post: https://createawebsitenow.com/how-to-switch-web-hosts/.

Yes, that is possible, however, moving your content from Wix to another platform is not always easy. Also, if you are planning to move on from Wix at a later point, it might be a good idea to register your domain externally and not through them. That will make it easier to reuse it.

Hey Nick, maybe you are still within the grace period and can revert it?
