Report Brand-Abuse Domains to Name.com
Report counterfeit and brand-abuse domains to Name.com.
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.
The core problem with 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.
Most common violation types
- Typosquatting brand-abuse domains
- Phishing infrastructure using brand impersonation
- Counterfeit ecommerce domains
- Trademark-infringing parked domains
