3 days, 4 calls, a supervisor — and @CrazyDomains still hasn’t submitted NS records for banditmedia.com.au to the auDA registry.
dig NS → SERVFAIL
dnschecker.org → no records
This is a registrar delegation failure, not a hosting issue. Unacceptable.

Thank you Crazy Domains, for the work you do, but also for the patience and kindness throughout, to help us get through quite a distressing period. Could not rate the experience of working with you guys any higher, we are simply thrilled and super grateful.
Crazy Domains helped us to reinstate our website after it went down, but actually their team went above and beyond in delivering this and reassuring us through a distressing period. They also took the opportunity to assist us with optimising our Crazy Domains account and ensuring that all of our back-end set-up of the website was functional. Couldn't be more thrilled!

This is the owner of Vodien an incompetent hosting company. It appears their parent company has faced significant complaints and legal action regarding its business practices. Certainly my experience with them shows they cannot even correct a domain record they took over from my previous provider. My email system has been down for over 57 hours and no sign of a solution. Their support seems to be limited to young overseas staff who have no access to systems and no real expertise, deferrring to mysterious "System Admins, who never provide any contact and appear lost when a technical problem arises. JUST DON"T USE THEM!!!
Update: They never managed to fix their faulty web208 server and my email, and I was able to move to a far more competent hosting service in Australia called VentraIP, who made the whole process painless and fast. They even sped up DNS promulgation which helped. Now, despite copying their complaints email address with almost every email, they (Crazy Domains) still want more. It seems their internal procedures do not work. Anyway, good riddance to Vodien, Crazy Domains and Dreamscape.
UPDATE: Despite having more than a year to go with Domain Hosting on Vodien, after being forced to move to another provider, they offered a $50 refund and closed the internal ticket they created for this, claim that it is "outside their refund p[policy" then simply stop responding to emails. DO NOT USE THEM.

Please save your money!
Support is hit or miss, and Crazy Domains rob you of extra hidden fees. I purchased $200 of domains, just to be told TXT records are a premium feature, leaving me with junk domains unless I fork out even more! If you get Angelica or Anne from support, refresh for a new agent :(
Also be careful to disable all the useless hidden 'upgrades' posed as free when purchasing anything. They will renew and charge you a bucketload.

I changed from another carrier. The on line support was excellent.

DO NOT SIGN UP WITH CRAZY DOMAINS FOR ANYTHING. AS THE NAME SUGGESTS YOU'D HAVE TO BE CRAZY. THEY WILL HOUND AND HOUND YOU EVERY SECOND DAY WHEN YOU ARE TWO MONTHS OUT OF RENEWAL. THEIR EMAILS ARE 'URGENT' AND BORDERLINE THREATENING. THEN THE AMOUNT YOU GET QUOTED IS NOT THE AMOUNT YOU GET CHARGED. THERE ARE HIDDEN EXTRA SERVICES ATTACHED AND IF YOU TAKE IT FOR FACE VALUE, YOU WILL FIND YOU ARE CHARGED AT LEAST DOUBLE. THE MINUTE I SAW THE PAYPAL BILL FOR DOUBLE I RANG THEM AND TOLD THEM I WANTED TO CANCEL EVERYTHING AND WANTED A REFUND BECAUSE OF THEIR DISHINESTY. THEY OFFERED ME A CREDIT. WHAT THE HELL AND I GOING TO DO WITH A CREDIT IF I AM CANCELLING ALL SERVICES. THEY ARE FILTHY. STEAR CLEAR!!!!!!!!!!

Their auto-renew featured billed my card despite my trying to remove all cards on file. Previously they'd been helpful in assisting. However, they refused to refund me the amount that was auto-billed. I didn't authorise them to bill my card. I told them I tried to remove my card to stop the auto-renew/billing, but they told me it's impossible to remove the card on file. So unless you login, and turn off the auto-renewal of any products, you're helpless to remove your card and will get charged. I didn't authorise the charge. They charged me anyway, with a card I couldn't remove from their files. Less than a one star in this occassion.

I paid a hosting fee accidently forgetting my store is hosted by Shopify.
This was my email:
• The payment was made in error
• The website is hosted by Shopify
• I never agreed to your credit
• I have sold the business and cannot use your services.
• Consequently, I have no need of a credit on my account for further services
• The new owner wants to transfer the hosting away from your company
They refused to refund me and sited terms and conditions and closed the case without my permisssion. BEWARE! Scammers! Stay away!

"crazy domain support and tech team sucks, they hardly fix anything except that to and fro of emails while waiting all day and then they left office without resoltion while i end up waiting"

beware of auto renewals, I did not know my domain was on auto renewals, and it charged me without any authorization

The biggest rip off ever!
Money hungry people wait to rip us off! I bought titanium email an year ago, and when its time to renew they added two email accounts without an option to remove one of them.
Multiple calls later they claim its a technical issue and will call back in one day two days .. unfaithful, money hungry, unethical people. I had no choice but to renew with both the emails when i only ever needed one because the due date was here and they didnt let me pay for one!!
How can a company operate so unethically!! I am moving everything soon .. but if you are watching this!! Dont get lured into these money hungry people!! They are scam artists!! Stay away

I sell my domains on the Sedo marketplace, but this registrar appears to have ongoing issues with Sedo MLS distribution. My domains are not showing as premium listings in their website search results, even though they are properly listed with Buy Now pricing on Sedo.
When I contacted support, the responses I received contained incorrect information and generic explanations that did not address the actual problem. Unfortunately, the issue could not be escalated properly, which made it difficult to get a clear resolution.
Overall, the lack of accurate support and the MLS distribution problem make it challenging to rely on this registrar for selling premium domains.

I had a disgusting experience with CrazyDomains.
After purchasing my domains through their website, my phone has not stopped ringing with scam calls about my websites and domain registrations. This only started after I bought my domains from CrazyDomains.
I later discovered that CrazyDomains had published all of my private information publicly through WHOIS without my permission or proper warning. This included extremely sensitive information such as my phone number, ABN, and even my home address. When purchasing the domain, there was no clear option or notice to hide my personal details, which is something most reputable domain providers offer automatically.
When I contacted their support team about this serious privacy issue, they were completely unhelpful. Instead of resolving the problem, they simply told me I can buy their privacy protection service—but by that point the damage was already done and my personal information had already been scraped and shared everywhere.
What makes this worse is that most other domain registrars provide WHOIS privacy protection for free to protect their customers from spam, scams, and harassment. CrazyDomains clearly does not respect their customers' privacy.
Publishing someone's phone number, home address, and ABN publicly without clear consent is unacceptable, and then asking them to pay to protect it afterward is even worse.
I strongly recommend avoiding CrazyDomains and choosing a domain provider that actually respects customer privacy and security.

I have been a customer of this company for over 11 years, and unfortunately my recent experience has been very disappointing.
In the past, the service was excellent. The recommendations provided were always beneficial for both my business and the company. When I invested in their premium SEO services and high tier server, the support was professional and my rankings were performing well. My previous account manager, Roman, was outstanding. He was knowledgeable, respectful, and genuinely focused on helping my business grow.
However, things changed when my account was reassigned to a new account manager named Marvin. My experience with him has been extremely frustrating due to his lack of professionalism and courtesy. Despite repeatedly explaining that my IT team advised that I do not need a server upgrade, Marvin continued to push aggressively for an upgrade from my current $5,000 server to an $8,000 plan.
The issue is not the cost. I am willing to invest in my business when the recommendation makes sense. The problem is the constant pressure, rude tone, and persistent attempts to sell something I clearly stated I did not need. It felt more like harassment than professional account management.
I even asked if my previous account manager Roman could assist me again, but I was told he no longer works for the company. Instead of respecting my concerns, Marvin continued insisting that he was the best person to assist me.
The situation became so frustrating that I had to request my account be placed on a “Do Not Call” list just to stop the constant calls and pressure while I am traveling to U.S.
After more than a decade as a loyal customer, this experience was extremely disappointing. I strongly suggest the company review how some of their account managers interact with long term clients. Customer service should be based on professionalism, respect, and integrity, not aggressive upselling.
I hope the company takes this feedback seriously and improves the quality and professionalism of their customer support moving forward.

I used CrazyDomains for a back listed / about to drop domain capture. I figured no one else would be on the hunt for the domain as it was specific to my business name.
Unfortunately CrazyDomains were unable to capture the domain for me, at such a low price I didn’t mind the cost.
But what I do mind is; when I log in it suggests that the domain has been successfully registered, it hasn’t been, the domain is already up for sale, but it shows on my account with auto-renew switched on.
Finally I have had no communication; no emails confirming whether the capture was successful or not. To be honest I may as well have tried to grab the domain myself, I don’t even know IF crazy domains even tried to catch the domain, that was an easy few quid if they didn’t, of course their T&Cs don’t allow a refund.

if I could leave you a no star review I would. I have been chasing a refund for service not provided for over 3 weeks. your business is a shameful scam!

We have been a loyal customer for 16yrs. We pay for the top business hosting plan, for the last 6mths we have had endless problems with emails due to their server being overloaded, now they are saying despite their ultimate business plan saying you can have 150email addresses, we have 5 and maybe send and receive 50 emails a day, we apparently can only send/receive 20 in any 8 hr period , which is not anywhere in their adverting or terms and conditions. How can any small business operate without access to emails .
