What do you dislike about Domain.com?
I have never encountered such an appalling experience with any service provider as I have with Domain.com. What started as a simple WordPress installation issue has spiraled into a complete disaster. Over the past few weeks, I’ve faced repeated cancellations of services—including my hosting, domain, and Google Workspace—without my authorisation. No one from Domain.com has been able to explain how or why this occurred, and every attempt to get a resolution has resulted in further complications.
I initially reached out to their support team with problems installing WordPress, but the situation only worsened. My hosting was canceled and refunded without my request, and when I logged in to point my domain name to my new hosting, my domain and Google Workspace were no longer available in my account. When I followed up with support to find out why my domain was missing, I was told it had been transferred to Network Solutions—again, without my authorisation. After contacting Network Solutions myself, I was informed that not only had my domain never been transferred to them, but it had been canceled altogether. This was the first clear answer I had received after multiple frustrating conversations with Domain.com support.
To make matters worse, my Google Workspace account is linked to live accounts that we desperately need access to. We haven’t been able to access these accounts throughout this ordeal, causing significant disruption to our business operations.
After weeks of this nonsense, I begged Domain.com support for a way to escalate the case, desperate to understand how such a serious breach of service could happen. I received no response to my initial escalation request. Out of sheer desperation, I scoured the internet for any contact email linked to Domain.com and finally reached out.
Despite being the one to send the incredibly desperate email, and who has invested the time, resources, and emotional energy into resolving this mess, it was the primary account holder who received a call in response, and all further communication has been directed to them. While I understand this may be their process, as the person in all the support logs and the sender of the email, I deserved the courtesy call to resolve the issue. Which, I stress, has still not been resolved.
While an email was sent to the primary account owner asking them to confirm their identity, which they did, the saga continues. Since then—nothing. No follow-up, no resolution, and still no domain transfer. Every attempt to move forward has failed, and we’re stuck in limbo. It’s been weeks, and the issue remains unresolved. I fear at this point we have lost our domain due to the negligence and incompetence of Domain.com.
To any potential customers: avoid this company at all costs. Their handling of our domain transfer has been a nightmare, and they’ve caused us to lose valuable time, money, and business. Domain.com has been the single worst decision we’ve made for our startup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
