    I have one domain with dynadot from a year, it was using same content from beginning
    1 week back they have disabled my domain without any warning or alert ,they are saying that domain hosted hacking page i don't have any hacking or phishing page to steal information from public,
    i have sent them 30 emails and many calls no one ever responded, i worked many years to get seo on the domain,

    Iam a ordinary guy who designs websites , i know the pain of working on internet to feed, this corporate companies steals and kill our work
    I will not leave them as i will show them 100 times of pain i got

    Your domain "hirethehacker.com" hasn't been stolen, it is still owned by you. It was suspended because of the illegal nature of the site, in much the same way we'd suspend a phishing domain

    Dynadot did the same thing that most registrars would have done. I've seen all the top registrars do this.

    I don't know all the details and I am not saying anyone is right or wrong but any time illegal activities are suspected and a registrar finds out about it, this will usually happen.

    Hopefully you can figure out what the exact issue is and get this matter taken care of promptly.

    Good Luck

    I have been with Dynadot for 12 years and they have always treated me well. Like Ulterios said they have to do what is in the best interest of the public. Your domain may have been reported. They normally do an investigation to determine the validity of the claim. If you did not place malicious code on your site then you possiblely could have been hacked and someone else has done this. As for the calls and emails I am surprised that you are unable to get a response. I have never had an issue reaching anyone there. Yes sometimes there is a delay, but usually they are withing reasonable response times.

    The website still doesn't resolve to anything after 2 1/2 weeks so I am curious as to what's going on. I have never personally had this happen, so I have no idea what the process is to get things going again. Probably remove anything that shouldn't be there or is a violation of the TOS.

    I know a reputable registrar like Dynadot won't just do this for the fun of it, they must have had good reason.

    I don't have any issue whatsoever with Dynadot for several years. Perhaps your issue is a different case that causes Dynadot to suspend it. Of course, there is always a valid reason why they did it. It's all a safety precaution. In my opinion, the best thing that you can do is to persistently contact their customer support to find a way on how to resolve this matter.

    I could not agree more that there must be some underlying issue here. Seems strange that it hasn't been resolved yet.

    I don't think the large registrar like Dynadot could do that. There must have something wrong here. Maybe your website was reported many times or you're violated their policies. Try to review again your website content to meet their TOS or isolate some wrong points that could lead your domain disabled. hope this help.
