As the others above me already said
this organization Really sucks.
They renew our domain without letting us know in advance. They debit it first and than send me my bank approved the transaction One month before due date. We didn't say anything as we are keeping the domain. However, the automatic reminder keep coming in to Renew the domain. We requested Globat to stop it as it was paid already. Instead they put the domain expired and non accessible. When contacted them, they took ages to look into it.
I agree with others, I don't like to put others name down. But all I say is STAY AWAY.
They used a different name too. "Domainsarefree.com" with low price and then charged from Globat. Their Panel is also shocking. Always a problem to login in. Their system is plain terrible.
I just don't want other people suffered the pain like I do.

Globat scores a 1 because there is no 0!!!!! If you do ANY sort of business with this company, than you have not done ANY research... This company is about as low down and dirty as they come... They steal... outright steal... no other way to put it... They would steal your dead grandma\'s urn.... They are notorious for signing you up for services automatically, you must opt out of them... and guess what... most opt out requests are lost!!!! (of course).... I have not actually EVER been able to use the domain name I purchased with Globat... Please don\'t make the same mistake I did... Don\'t go with Globat!!!! Go with ANYBODY BUT Globat!!!!! Tell all your friends, Globat is low down rotton scum of the Net!!!!!

I have been with Globat for four years. Since them I have had the opportunity to work with many hosting providers. (I am website developer) and I have been slowing weening clients off Globat because of unethical marketing & billing practices as well as terrible uptime. The server that my site is on, has been hacked and 48 hours later still no progress on getting this fixed. This is the second time in two weeks. I just paid my hosting again this January. My site was down for three weeks do to a billing error on their part. This is the last straw for me.

Having an on-going dispute for unauthorized billing to our account. Globat will not refund. Filing court papers to resolve this.
This company is history!

Since the begging I have problems. After setting my domain, they did change the user interface, and they did not give me an user password to access it. All the time I have received "Automatic Upgrades" (Automatic Charges To My Credit Card), none of them authorized by me, now and then I cannot enter to make changes, they have kidnapped my domain name. I have another domain, and it is suspended, because I have canceled my Credit Card to avoid more Automatic/ Not Authorized charges to my Credit Card. A month before my main domain was expired I have tried many times to make them release my domain, I have no answer, after expired they contacted me, and tell me that they cannot do nothing and they cannot release my domain for another year!!!, I have an "Arrangement" with them they make me pay for another year and give me another year for free.
My domain name works, but I cannot make any changes, I tried to transfer to another company, without any answer. Well if you see any offer or anything related to this company... run like hell, or it will become your worst nightmare
