What to expect
Name.com says: "We strive to answer all abuse complaints in a timely and efficient manner."
Accredited registrars of generic domains must act on actionable evidence of phishing under their ICANN contract. If nothing happens, see how to escalate to ICANN.
Report it here too
- The host. The registrar controls the domain, the host controls the site. The lookup shows when the site sits behind Cloudflare.
- Browsers. Google Safe Browsing and Netcraft make browsers warn visitors, often before the domain is suspended.
- Wallets. See how to report a phishing site to wallets.
