DomainName.com.au misleading & deceptive? (Blair Rafferty)

Filed under: Firebird Corporation, Blair Rafferty, DomainName.com.au — Josh @ 8:03 pm

A DomainName.com.au customer has complained about their practices, which could be misleading and deceptive. The customer has:

  1. been sold a new domain name (breathofthewok.com) in the belief that he was renewing his existing domain name (breathofthewok.com.au),
  2. had his new domain name registered for only 1 year - not the 2 years he paid for,
  3. with the registrant details listed as DomainName.com.au - not his own, and
  4. has not received his “FREE” MP3 player

” …

i received this week a letter from DomainName.com.au Pty Ltd. the letter looked familiar as it was a request to register the domain for two years with the offer of an mp3 player.

looking back through my records I found that i had sent a cheque to DomainName.com.au Pty Ltd back in early February 2006. I began to have suspicions and tried to phone the organisation. however i received only a message over the last two days that all operators are busy. i then phoned my webpage host to confirm the domain organisation used when the website was set up nearly two years ago. they informed me that DomainName.com.au Pty Ltd was not the organisation. back in February I had payed the money in good faith expecting that a prompt would be made about two years from the date of website set up. so I have paid money that i cannot really afford, not received the confirmation or the promised mp3 player. Act in haste, repent at leisure.

DomainName.com.au slow to register domains (Blair Rafferty)

Filed under: Blair Rafferty, DomainName.com.au — Josh @ 7:50 pm

Following my post to the .au DNS list, the domain name which Alison Stone paid for prior to March 31 has just been registered. Whilst DomainName.com.au Pty Ltd was quick to bank Alison’s cheque, they took 30+ days to register Alison’s domain name.

However the “FREE” MP3 player is still to be delivered - apparently due to “supplier” issues.
