Thieves and clowns
I birthed a business and worked with these clowns to make my vision become a reality. I told them the name of my company and they asked if I had a website I told them that the domain isn’t chosen and I’d claim it after getting off the call with them because I wanted to use Google to purchase my domain. Because I was doing business with whom I thought was credible I was honest but they turned around and purchased my damn domain & I couldn’t launch my business under a www. I had to use something else. I didn’t. I prayed and waited two years and it was finally released. They had not created a site with it just a blank page, upset because I didn’t use their services. I paid as many years as I could once my domain was free to purchase again. My advice is do it all through a trusted site GOOGLE and right before using Google trademark your business name and start suing mfrs.
