I just toss it in the trash. When a Google search for their company name turns up all negative reviews except for their company website that should say something to anyone looking at dealing with them.

Where do I START? I urge the Better Business Bureau, Consumer Protection as well as ANY Domain Registrar that values customer loyalty to get cracking on these guys since they DO IMPLY that they have registered this domain with them in the openning lines of their letters (of which I get about a dozen a year) without saying it directly and is THEREFORE misleading. I Actually called them and asked them to remove my mailing address from their list and in my frustration the “Daemon Jacob” who answered the phone told me not to feed him my sob stories. Pretty much the level of customer service quality I’d expect from a company with no integity or shame. If they were hijacking mortgages and what have you there would be a federal case against this by now. But THATS NOT ENOUGH. THESE GUYS ARE DOMAIN HIJACKERS AND SCAMMERS. This is a next generation high tech version of the business directory scam which was finally busted after years of being in business and after making millions if not bllions in fraud related profits. I understand it’s a recession and my heart bleeds for them with sympathy but this is total B.S. and No way to make an honest living. If the RCMP doesn’t do something about it then web developpers and anyone else in the industry should get interpol or the international agencies on their asses. Not all domains were canadian companies therefore I don’t believe there would be too many jurisdictional issues. I hope these guys like really warm weather because these guys and anyone working for them or with them that still have a conscious are going straight to hell, Atheist or otherwise. HA!

That is why you can't get .ca domains at places like GoDaddy. Sorry I wish I could offer you more.

I am interesting to add a .ca domain to my e-commerce site but I am not a permanent resident and would like to avoid having to file for a trademarks in Canada just to get the domain. Any tips?

I have also heard they do similar things in the United States. As for the domain being registered by the host and not in the clients name. It can be tough to get it back. In Canada you need documents signed by all kinds of people. Sometimes even lawyers even have to get involved. Sometimes it is easier to start with a new domain.

But after reading the post it not up to my expectation. For Domain transfer FTP user name and password is important. but some hosting companies will register the domain (belong to their client's) in their company name. If the client wants to transfer it because of issues like maintenance and customer service they regret to give the password for transfering the domain. Is there any way to get password from those people. Reading the title of the post I thought this post is really going to be a great concern in Canada.
