Abuse report form
www.name.com/abuse
Abuse email
abuse@name.com

Include in your report

  • The domain and the exact URLs where the abuse appears
  • The abuse type (phishing, malware, trademark, DMCA)
  • Rights evidence: trademark registration number or copyright ownership details
  • Screenshots of the infringing content
  • Your name, address, phone, and email so Name.com can follow up

Name.com registers the domain; it can suspend or lock a domain but cannot edit the site's content. If the abuse is the content itself, report it to the hosting provider as well.

Name.com is a mid-sized domain registrar serving developers, small businesses, and brand-protection use cases. Its abuse reporting program handles trademark complaints, phishing reports, and DMCA takedowns following standard ICANN-registrar processes.

A Name.com abuse report can suspend or lock the domain. It cannot rewrite the website. If the fake store or phishing page is still live, file a parallel complaint with the hosting provider. For a cloned storefront selling your products, follow how to remove a fake website. If someone registered your business name and the domain is parked or for sale, use the domain dispute playbook instead of an abuse form. Free takedown templates cover the wording.

Why brand-abuse sites show up on Name.com

Name.com's smaller scale means lower brand-abuse volume, but the registrar still hosts typosquats and phishing domains targeting major brands. Enforcement responsiveness is generally comparable to larger registrars, with UDRP proceedings effective for clear cases.

What a Name.com abuse report can cover

  • Typosquatting brand-abuse domains
  • Phishing infrastructure using brand impersonation
  • Counterfeit ecommerce domains
  • Trademark-infringing parked domains
  • Lookalike domains for credential harvesting

How to file a Name.com abuse report

  1. 1

    Document the abuse

    Capture WHOIS, content screenshots, and trademark documentation. Standard abuse-report evidence applies.

  2. 2

    File through Name.com's abuse form

    Submit through name.com/abuse (or email abuse@name.com) with rights documentation and clear violation type identification.

  3. 3

    Pursue UDRP for clear cases

    Name.com honors UDRP outcomes. Clear trademark cases benefit from arbitration over registrar-direct complaints.

  4. 4

    Track repeat operators across registrars

    Brand-abuse operations often spread across registrars. Multi-registrar pattern detection identifies operators efficiently.

Name.com Abuse Reporting

When a Name.com abuse report is not enough

Registrar complaints work for phishing, malware, and clear policy violations. They do not transfer a domain to you, and they often bounce trademark-only disputes. For a brand-name domain you want to own, file a UDRP (or URS for a faster suspension) — the domain squatting playbook covers that choice. If Name.com only registered the name and someone else hosts the site, send a second report through the hosting takedown guides.
