Beware of the DROA


Be very cautious of a company called Domain Registry of America (www.DROA.com). They are domain thieves, and they are out to get your domain name(s). They are especially targeting minority businesses, but other businesses as well.

This company will send you deceptive letters through the postal mail, urging you to renew your domain. The deceptive part is that when you renew your domain through them, they will transfer it away from your current registrar without your permission.

This can cause great confusion when you want to manage your domain, and may result in downtime for your web site. It can even cause you to lose your domain name.

The solution is to only deal with YOUR registrar (GoDaddy, Network Solutions, etc) regarding your domain name. If any other company contacts you about your domain name, ignore them completely.
