I too have been affected by the dishonest globat practices. Is there anything we can do?
I’ve tried to cancel my account with them repeatedly, and I continue to get emails from them telling me that they’re continuing to charge me for services that I previously said that I didn’t want.
How clear do I need to be? No more bills, no more emails, no more charges, ever. I am done. I don’t want anything to do with them again.

Yes… this message came a monthe after, when you already forgot and just think it is an ad offering a new service… but if you dont read until the end !gotcha! 49bucks is stlen from your pocket… but nothing compares the automatic renew on domain names… 35 days before it expires… with no chance to transfer nor let it expire, they just renew, no messages before telling you about it, after billing they send the invoice… There is no way to cancel the credit card number on the control panel…

that the way the web crumbles.

I´m having contact ICANN about the unethical way Globat and domainsarefre act, I hope this kind of busines be banned from the virtual word.

I tried Globat over two years half ago, and Globat keeps trying to charge my credit card (every couple of months it’ll send an email saying they have automatically signed me back up, and if i dont opt out within 10 or so days, they automatically bill my credit card on file).

How can we stop this?

Yes, Globat are underhanded and engage in disreputable tactics. And canceling either the “upgrade” or the entire service is a nightmare.

They are truly the bottom of the barrel.

BEWARE – Globat.com Web Hosting!…

I started service on 8/6 to try it out, did not like it, so I cancelled within the 30 day “money back guarantee” period and now I’m being told I have to wait till NOVEMBER to get my money back!

The reasons I didn’t like it was …

I know how all of you feel. I’m fed up with Globat, they’ve screwed me over royally, and I’ve been left with no choice. I’m actually going to consult with a lawyer tomorrow. They lost the domain and website I’ve been working on for 3 years. On top of that they’ve made every problem I’ve had a headache to solve. Plus they’ve auto billed me several times, especially after I’ve asked them to stop repeatedly. They make over a hundred million a year and im surprised how, it seems that they have so many upset customers. I’m wondering if what they’re doing is eligible for a class action suit.

Ive made a full post on my NEW site if anyone is interested in reading.

BEWARE WITH GLOBAT!
I purchased a domain from them last year and it expired on april 24th. You have 30 days to pay for a domain after it expires and I paid for it on may 5th (10 days after the expiration date) and they got my site back online. But a few weeks later my domain was sent into redemption and they are requiring me to pay them $80 to get it out of redemption, even when they accepted it was paid before the grace period ended!
