Auto-generated from all reviews of this business. For reference only.
I have been a customer of Gname for quite some time and have generally had a positive experience, which makes this review disappointing to write.
I purchased one of Gname's reseller plans due to advertised benefits. Just a few months later, one of the plan's key benefits was reduced by 50% for existing customers.
Support explained that this was due to increased costs from an upstream partner. I raised the issue through support and management channels, but the company ultimately decided to keep the change in place and offered no accommodation to customers who had already purchased the plan under the previous structure.
My concern is not that costs changed. My concern is that the value of a paid lifetime plan was materially reduced after purchase.
In my view, if a company sells a paid plan based on a certain set of benefits, existing customers should be able to rely on those benefits for a reasonable period of time. Changing them only a few months after purchase damages trust and raises serious fairness concerns.
Based on my experience, prospective customers should not assume that the benefits of a paid "lifetime plan" will remain unchanged after purchase.
I don't know how to rank Gname because as a business I have had no affiliation with Gname. However, we found a website that was phishing/fraudulent scamming site had copied our Website and was scamming our customer. Running ads to lure people to a realistic looking site and speaking CC's or just cash for orders obviously never being fulfilled. From the Whois we can see the domain registrar was Gname. We reported this to Gname and effectively on the next business day the domain registration was held and effectively shut down the one letter domain name scam site. There quick and fast action is very much appreciated from this legitimate business owner.
Almost all other registries provide a 30 days grace period for expired domains. But only these people are sending the domain to auction just around 12 days of expiry. Demanding 200usd other wise to renew.
Not recomended.

Hi there, could you please provide the domain name in question? Once we have that, we'll gladly take a closer look. Thanks!
Standing ovation to the abuse team, well deserved 5 stars for the work they do every single day. Your input is much appreciated when it comes to cleaning internet from trashy sites. Big Thank You
DO NOT USE GNAME.com!!!
You will lose your money and your domain. Gname uses a recharge scam to get you to deposit money (you will never see again). If you win a domain auction - they will LOCK your account so you cannot access it. Customer Service asks for information you can only get when you are logged in - BUT you CAN'T login because Gname locked your account. There is a language barrier as they pretend not to understand English. If you are looking for the Asian Mafia - it is at Gname.

Hey there. This looks to be a highly unusual situation. Would you mind providing us with your UID or your case ID for us to have a closer look please? Thanks very much.
Name are crooks. Once you purchase domains, Gname locks your account and won’t let you login. They ask for screenshots of your account that you can’t get because they blocked your access. Gname is a Mafia style organization.

Hello there. We take security and account accessibility very seriously. Account locks typically occur automatically to protect your assets when we detect unusual activity or security risks.
We want to help you resolve this immediately. Please reach out to our dedicated via live-chat with your registered email or domain name. If you already have a case ID, would you please drop us a dm at [email protected] for us to have a closer look? Thanks very much.
My online store was cloned and hosted on a third-party domain. The provider responded very quickly and reliably to my request to stop the copyright infringement.
Dear GNAME Abuse Team,
Thank you for your prompt assistance in resolving the abuse complaint regarding the abusive misuse of the domain, psmpublishers.org.
This is extremely frustrating and unacceptable. The OTP code has not been delivered to my email for over 1 hours, completely blocking access to my account functions.
I contacted customer support via live chat, and the only response I received was to “wait,” with no clear explanation, no estimated resolution time, and no alternative solution. This level of support is simply not acceptable.
What makes this worse is that I tried to change the OTP Operation Protection method to SMS-only, but this action itself requires an email OTP which I am not receiving. This creates a dead-end situation with no workaround.
Gname should have resolved this much faster. If an issue like this is still not fixed after more than an hour, it is already causing real harm to customers.
For a company like Gname, failing to deliver a basic and critical feature like email OTP is a serious issue. This is not a minor inconvenience it directly prevents users from accessing and transferring their funds. At the moment, my unsettled balance is effectively locked because of this failure.

Apologies for the tardy response. Did we manage to resolve this for you? Otherwise, would you please drop us your UID and case ID (if available) at [email protected].
DO NOT BUY DOMAINS THERE
I am a client of over 300 domains there, and they suddenly decided to block a domain i bought a day ago, no website no nothing, they said it was reported for abuse, what a joke i logged in to set the domain up, never used never connected to e mail service, stay away from Gname.
Their customer support is a joke, they are more often offline than online, they wont solve anything, support agents are useless they only tell you to contact email, and they say im sorry but they are off today, completely useless support team
Dont buy a domain there
228030 is my ID

Hey there. This doesn't seem right. Would you be able to share your UID or domain so that we can have a closer look? Thanks very much.
They handled our case very quickly. This resolved our issue with the fake shops very quickly, before we suffered any damage. This hosting provider seems to really know their business.
Thank you very much.
