Stolen domain warning
JixHost, a web hosting provider operating from the domain JixHost.com since 2008, has been hijacked.
The act occurred in October 2020 and the domain was transferred from GoDaddy and its Domains Priced Right outfit to NameCheap. The operators of the hijacked domain are presumed to be located in Middle East.
According to Jose Nobio, founder of JixHost, Namecheap responded 3 months later that the transfer was deemed “authorized.”
In response to this, the founder has put together 2 videos documenting the incident and sharing his frustration and advice with the domain investor community:
More information via NamePros.
In the best interests of the industry, community, past and future clientele of JixHost, I have retained Attorney John Berryhill, Esq. to assist me in this matter in recovering the domain and its associated business to its rightful owner.
The domain JixHost.com is going to be returned to its rightful owner. The decision was made on September 10, 2021
The Administrative Panel’s finding is as follows:
“For the foregoing reasons, in accordance with paragraphs 4(i) of
the Policy and 15 of the Rules, the Panel orders that the disputed
domain name <jixhost.com > be transferred to the
Complainant.”
Jose – this is spectacular news!
