Post subject: Globat domain registration
Archived from groups: alt>www>webmaster (more info?)

I used globat.com to register a few domain names because of the price
several months ago. Today I recieved an email from globat thanking me
for upgrading to their $40/month hosting plan. Not knowing what was
going on I looked online at my Visa statement, and sure enough, there
was a $40 charge from globat.
I found an email from them dated a few weeks ago. The contents were to
the extent of: I would be automatically upgraded to a hosting plan (I
guess they have my CC# from buying the domains) and if I didn't want to
upgrade, I needed to opt-out. They expect me to read junk mail?
Stay away from globat.com. Did this happened to anyone else recently? |

Do a charge back with yor CC company as you didn't explicitly authorise the
deduction. |

Any company that does something like that deserves many chargebacks.
The stones on them, I'd never do something like that to customers,
looks like a fast way to kill a business. Considering not only will
they lose that $40, but also another $25 per chargeback maybe the end
result will be a net loss and they'll never pull a stunt like it again.

Although, if your domain is still registered with them, they might
cancel, delete, suspend, or take ownership of it in retaliation, and
they may even threaten to sue you or ruin your credit rating, based on
some statement buried somewhere in their terms of service that they'll
claim you are violating.

Well a $39.95 refund appeared in my statement, so it looks like they
went through with the refund.
However, I recommend that others do not do business with their company.
Their newsletters that you can't opt-out of don't really make their
image better. Rest assured, I'll be transferring my domain to another
registrar at the end of this reg. period.

Thats good, so they aren't all bad.

It was definitely a sleezy move to send a mail effectively saying "if
you don't say no we're going to charge $40 to your card to upgrade you
to something you didn't request".

Who are you doing business with? None of the businesses I deal with
pull that shite, and if they did I would be their ex-customer.

How so? Every time I've ordered a domain with them, I always select the
option to point it to the name servers I specify. That option is about
50 pixels (give or take) above the "Continue to the next step" button,
and right below the "Park the domain with us" option. Besides, you also
have the shopping cart at the end showing exactly what you're about to
order. You'd have to really not pay any attention during the order
process to order anything but just the domain registration.

And I've never had GoDaddy pull the "if you don't reply to this email,
you'll have this service automatically added to your bill" stunt.
