Recently, we received multiple phone calls from customers who were approached by a party claiming to deal with 'checking for duplicate domain name registrations'. An employee of such a party calls you and tells you that there is a company that wants to start a website with the same domain name as your company, but with (for example) the .com extension. The party offers you the opportunity to purchase this domain name in advance for the next ten years (!). Registering a domain name for ten years is very unusual.
If you are approached by such a party, always ask for details such as name and phone number. Do not agree to anything, but contact us first. We can then investigate which party you are dealing with and whether or not you are being scammed. Often, the story that a company wants to buy your domain name is fabricated.
It is also possible to have a domain name registered by us. We only work with one-year domain name registrations. This way, you can be sure that you are not stuck with a ten-year predatory contract. Do you have any questions? Feel free to contact us via support@best4u.nl or by calling 0575 512 125.
