Those bastards just got me too. A good friend died last year so we made a memorial website. Cost me $10 for the domain via google. It’s been a crazy summer and somehow the renewal emails were missed. Now eNom wants close to $300 to give me access to a URL that I own. Fucking assholes.

I am also a victim of eNom. A domain I use expired due to it being in someone else’s name and now they are demanding annual payments of 12 x the normal renewal amount to have it released back to me.

Under current laws, eNom appear to have every right to do this to people as they operate under several business operations and I feel they carefully orchestrate each situation to work it towards their financial advantage.

They give us the run around by directing us to other companies who don’t respond to you, and then at the end of their stupid, deceptive and time-wasting games, the victim is forced to pay over grossly-inflated amounts of money to have their cherished domain back.

The laws need to be changed to stop this kind of deceptive and unfair conduct and to protect people. The internet used to be the domain of scientists and nerds, now it’s a maintream medium and attracts all kinds of people who still aren’t on top of what is required to maintain a domain name properly.

Save yourselves. Avoid eNom at all costs. Farewell.

Hi ENOM victims

my web site jgm-thailand.com is now again since 3 days not reachable. 3 months ago for 8 days.
Províder WIZWEBHOST.com und Registrar ENOM are not responding. Spent 4 hours for try it out.
If I call my web site the following message appear:

This Account Has Been Suspended.
Please contact the billing/support department as soon as possible.

WIZWEBHOST cpanel don’t accept my username and password anymore.
The host is pail until 6/2010

ENOM is writing on their web site they have no access to the data and I should send an email to WIZWEBHOST.
But all email comes back.
I tried to send an mail to ENOM but impossible. They sent me in a cycle.
I have a nasty suspicion that the two work close together.

I want to move to my new provider (site5.com with an excellent service) but how I can do this if no contact is possible?. (site5 says, may be I’ll loose my domain name but they can not help me in this case)

What can I do?

What is happening with us at Enom is a joke. My father in law had gegtranslations.com – missed to renew it, it was picked up by zipdomains and he bought it back from them for 90$. Yes we know we got scammed. What happens now is that we are trying to access and unlock our own site, which has links on it that who knows who put there. We have a login and password but cannot remember where to go to actually access the site (we did nothing with the site for 8 months). Emails to zipdomain are unanswered, zipdomain points to traderdomains and the email in the whois is info@registrymanagement.com which is ENOM. A phone call to enom yielded in very heated discussion with the person, who wanted us to pay for transferring the site to enom, which is already hosted there. Enom has access to our site, and could unlock the domain.Emails to the legal or abuse department come back with the SAME autoresponder message……. we are not sure what to do. We do not know WHERE we can type in the login and pw we have when we bought the domain from zipdomains. Enom does not answer.. we want to unlock our own domain and transfer it out but cannot even access it. I guess the next step is the better business bureau. Oh btw the guy in the service department hung up on me. So much for service….. never ever ever work with these guys .. what a joke ..

I have been trying for 3 WEEKS to have my domain name pointed to my website which has been ready to launch all this time. I have called Enom repeatedly over the past 3 weeks and have been told that NOONE but a woman named Deborah Burditt can help me. I have BEGGED and PLEADED for her to return my calls and she will not. She sent me 3 cryptic emails all saying the same one line comment: We are working to resolve some issues with Yahoo and will contact you when the problem is resolved”. The one time I did speak with her that’s all she would say- like a robot she just kept repeating the same thing over and over again. I am absolutely furious about this and cannot get ANYONE from the company to help me. Even is you sit there and start pushing extensions just to speak to a warm body, people who do answer are obviously annoyed to be speaking wiuth you and just tell you that you have to speak to Deborah Burditt and/ or there is nothing and noone who can help you. I have never in 27 years encountered such a screwed up company who’s hiring practices obviously incorporate rudeness and the worst customer service on the planet!!!
My advise- if you have a domain name check on it NOW! I don’t know HOW they got mine but they have it!
Enom completely sucks!

Transfer your domain name.
1. Login to your account and make sure the email address assigned to the account is Your E-mail address.
2. You must Unlock your domain name. You control domain locking, look around inside your account, some registrars make it hard to find. Ignore the fear based warning about unlocking it. Yes, you know you are moving it.
3. Go to any other registrar and open an account.
4. Look for Transfer a domain, instead of buy a domain.
5. Put your domain name in the field and pay the fee. Be accurate!
6. An Email will be sent to the owner of the domain name (you) asking for approval. Approve the transfer. Depending on the registrar, you will also recieve information about how long it will take etc.
7. After the domain name is inside your new account don’t forget to lock it. Autorenew can also save you some grief.

Enom are crooks indeed. Their email address don’t work. Their website still lists 2008. Support is unexistent and they convert domain names to ‘premiums’ after they are registered and paid for and locked them so they cannot be moved away.

I feel cheated. I cannot develop my .tv domainname to the full extent because it seems that enom are not to be trusted.

Can I transfer my – what they without informing me and years after my payments consider a premium – to another registrar that DOES provide SERVICE to its customers?

Just wanted to make a comment as I read this…

“You’d think that would be enough right? I’ve proved I have access to the original Registerfly account (all the domains are still listed in the Registerfly account so a screenshot proves I own the domains).”

Screenshots are far from proof; pages and images can be altered very easily, with minimal effort at all. However, I’ve never had any experiences with any of those companies you mentioned besides GoDaddy, and I must say thanks since I was just about to sign up to Enom for their API (GoDaddy charged $2500 for access to their API).

There’s a few people at enom that I get very frustrated at, particularly Tyson Hayes in tech support has a number of times screwed up my support requests. I have hundreds of domains with eNom and for the most part have been pretty satisfied and I do expect some issues over the years, sadly it’s not unusual for problems to arise in a growing corporation that’s supporting millions of domain names.

Hello my name is ivan to make along story short
i renwed all of my expired domainds on october 6
there was not 1 domain left on my expired domains list, enom hid the domain InternationalsuperCenter.com so that it would not be listed, it expired on september 24th with a 30 day grace period. when i went to renew my domains, on october 6 I renewed every last domain that was listed as expired, when i checked again november 7 the name appeared
as expired and they wanted to extort $160.00
as i was in negotiation with them they took the domain away completely. I want my domain back, this is not the first time enom has done this to me and hundreds of other domain holders, the truth is i want to start a class action lawsuit against this criminal richard rosenblatt from demand media. and there are many others that have been damaged by this man and his company.
