I paid for a membership, and then I thought I needed a higher membership based off of the number of websites I was trying to have audited/appraised. The first problem was: It was a same day upgrade, they should've credited me from the lower tier upgrade to the higher tier. Instead they made me pay for both. So I ended up paying $5 for the lower tier package + $10 for the higher tier package, instead of just $10. I don't feel this right at all. Immoral I feel is the most appropriate word. I should've only had to pay $5 as it was a same day upgrade. After doing extensive research on this forum (to include reviewing the poor reviews here on TrustPilot) I kindly asked for a refund. I was more or less accosted for even upgrading in the first place. I was indeed granted a refund on the lower tier package, however when I requested a refund on the higher tier package (this was after I discovered the awful things that this forum participates in) I was completely ignored for over 24 hours. It was interesting because they were completely fine messaging me over and over trying to humiliate me for upgrading in the first place, but when I raised my concerns regarding the things done on the forum, they went silent immediately. It took multiple private messages to the forum moderation team(s) to gain a response. It appears that the moderators utilize some sort of "team account" in which multiple persons utilize the same accounts. One such persons/moderator account said they would be giving me a refund, then another person/moderator account said they would not be. When I politely requested clarification on this I was met with something about grammatical errors in the first persons/moderator accounts message. At this point after being told I was receiving a refund for the higher tier account and then I being told I was not going to be receiving one, I advised the moderation team(s) that I would be filing a dispute with my financial institution. I had no plan to do this, it was more or less a "scare tactic" to get my funds returned in a timely and amicable manner. I had remained very polite, friendly and cordial during each and every interaction with these persons/teams/moderators. Literally seconds after my sending the message in this thread, my account was then locked and/or suspended even though I had done nothing wrong except exercise my first amendment right to free speech. In addition to my account being frozen/suspended I was sent a direct message saying that my account was being investigated for potential scams. In the body of this direct message they said that this was to ensure that the community members of the NamePros forum were safe. I am really not sure what my saying I was going to open a dispute with my financial institution and the community members well being have in common, but yes, I no longer had access to my account for simply saying something. So apparently you can't even joke around on this forum. Since they actually did take away/suspend my account that I had paid for, I did indeed take immediate action after that and contact my bank to open a real dispute with them regarding all of this. That dispute investigation is in the works and I have submitted the proper evidence to support my claims. In an attempt to get clarification on the bizarre nature of all of this and the "power trip" that these persons/moderation teams seem to be on I sent several messages to the support team via the support forum. I opened several support threads in an attempt to better understand what was going on, however, each of them were closed without being answered to, and eventually I was blocked from even contacting the NamePros support staff at all -- Literally over exercising my right to free speech, making a joke mind you. Despite this being so upsetting, my getting angry during every instance, I maintained composure during each and every person(s) that I engaged with. I wish I could say the same about the persons on the other end of the keyboard. I ended each direct message with how I end every email, "Thank you ever so much" and "Best" (as in Best Regards). They actually accused me of being "fake polite" for doing this...? I am naturally a friendly person -- To be called out like this is terribly upsetting, especially because I cannot even defend myself because I am behind a computer screen. However, in a bizarre twist, I received an email today saying that I was being investigated by the forum staff for opening a new account...? Lastly, they have removed ALL DMs of mine so I cannot provide proof of any of this to my bank or anyone else. This place does not make any sense and has no business being on the internet. They seem to be miserable themselves so they want to inflict that upon the rest of us. EDIT: 05/14/2026 @ 1145pm EST - Harassment continues with more DMs from moderators.

I found Namepros.com to be a seemingly reputable and practical interactive computing service, on its face. However, my experience has been utterly disappointing due to their failure to adhere to basic data protection and privacy obligations. After expressing dissatisfaction with their services and requesting the permanent deletion of my sensitive information, the company Namepros.com adequately refused to comply. This is obviously a clear violation of applicable consumer privacy laws, which stipulate that a business can only refuse to delete data if there is a lawful exception—something they have not demonstrated or formally outlined. Their failure to delete my information not only breaches consumer trust but also exposes them to potential legal liabilities related to defamation, libel, or slander claims amongst other appropriate concerns. Their refusal to honor my data deletion request demonstrates a complete disregard for consumer rights and has significantly jeopardized my integrity, privacy, and more alarming safety. Such actions are unacceptable and reflect poorly on their ethical standards and commitment to user trust. I strongly advise caution when dealing with this company, especially regarding personal data and privacy concerns, as Bodis.com has announced they are no longer the holding corporation of Namepros.com

Don’t do any business on namepros. It is easily the worst forum I have ever encountered. The mentality is cheap, and the moderators are incredibly rude and humiliating. The site is crawling with shill bidders and Scammers!!! Worse, they have now resorted to using AI Bots and multi-accounts to generate fake content and fake engagement. To make matters worse, they clearly started pumping their Trustpilot rating last year with fake reviews or with review invitations. Save your time and your assets: don't sell your wares here (FAKE domain companies like binomus, FAKE domains by "new members"-old scammers, FAKE "members" posts by admin bots). The management is the worst I’ve ever dealt with. Avoid!

I signed up for a basic account and upgrade it to the first payment level. I posted some helpful advice from my experience of domain management over 40 years. Somebody supposedly took objection and claimed the TOs violation, even though there is no clear correlation. The support center send me an email, saying that I need to set up a new account to complain about the old account being closed. Which clown is running the circus?

Stay clear - Troll City If you have any sense you will steer clear of this lot. Mods are evil and enjoy causing chaos. Don't get me started on the rampant racism and the misogyny. Troll city.

Allowing posts of unverified, baseless criminal accusations without merit.

Don't do any business on Namepros. Worst forum ever. Cheap! Rude behavior by Mods. Shil bidders. RACISM at the best. Have been humiliated and restricted many times. Cheap mentality and desperate admins. Don't sell your wares here.

Have had several accounts over at namepros over past 11 years, they deleted them or won't let you log in after awhile. Wanted to delete a account but no , won't let me, trying to make me look like a scammer and abuser, says they will put a strike thru your user name but keep your posts active, gdpr something rule. Funny I could always delete accounts on other forums. They are not US based and absolutely hate US females over there, some kind of club? Always, always have gotten very mean degrading hateful responses from them, either from inquiring about domains or just posting a response to someone or asking questions. They are also very mean to newbies, calling them things, accusing them of spamming, no such thing. I do feel the forum is owned by domainers and they seek to use newbies as you can see, won't offfer much for a domain, seeking out the newbies to scam. No one has ever, and I mean it, no one has been nice to me at namepros. I'm a female name over there 13 years of sick demented pathetic mean responses and rude treatment Don't use this place Full of Vultures Other places to go Stay Away
