Domain stuffing is a spammy process perfected by Network Solutions in 2014, when it stuffed .XYZ domains “for free” into the accounts of the matching .com holders. Back then, it was called domain robo-registration.
Now, Register.com—the sister company to NetSol under the Web.com umbrella—gives domain holders a free dot .Site domain. Again, the practice is spammy and of questionable ethics, triggering a response from the Domain King, Rick Schwartz, who wrote:
This is one of the biggest gTLD models, STUFFING accounts with Domains nobody asked for or ordered! I have to act not to get it stuffed in my account??!! I have to opt-out?? BULLSHIT!!
Many companies will be fooled into paying renewals for years! That’s a SCAM in MY BOOK! A TOTAL SCAM BY THESE COMPANIES!!

While domain stuffing does occur, we are not aware of any other incidents outside of the one in 2014 and now. Still, who wants to be associated with domain names they didn’t intend to register in the first place?
In response, the Domain King’s latest domain registration appears to be that of BoycottRegisterCom.com that is most likely going to be used as a public complaint web site such as Bitch.com.
