I’m really upset, I know that netfirms do not charge a lot for domain registration and for that reason plus tons of advertising netfirms have many businesses but this could be the cause that netfirms have been making “mistakes or failures” frequently.
I bough my domain name whit netfirms, some days after I try to get it for the first time but I can not get access, I sent a email about this issue, netfirms answer me that the payments was not executed… next I contact then, and the answer was that netfirms need a scan of my credit card.. I did it so and email to netfirms.. But after that netfirms said that them do no receive the mail “sorry…
I reviewed my sent folder emails and everything works well, no deliveries failures etc.
I was so worry, that my info is floating around the internet (nobody knows) jeopardizing my identity, money etc.
I have to call my bank to cancel my credit card and them told me that netfirms have 2 cases more with the same firm…
So do match… failures on systems or corrupted employees…
Is up to you.
From my Part never again whit netfirms

I have 2 account with netfirms and I found their panel to be simple, yet easy to manipulate. I am using over 100GB space and 1,000GB bandwidth and they never had a problem with this.
I am sorry to hear with your experience. They have always required me to scan the CC but just the last numbers. So I guess that’s not really an issue.

I don’t use netfirms for hosting of any kind, but I register all of my names through them (100+ domain names now).
While it’s annoying that they try to sell all the crap, if you get in there and know what you want though, just register a domain, Netfirms is great. The control panel gives you easy control over the domains, and customer service is great. It used to be 4.95 a domain so you could only have 5 per e-mail address…as such I used dozens of e-mail addresses at first, and support never had a problem listing the domains associated with each address for me, or combining domains into one account.
While the price is continually rising and I dont know about the hosting, netfirms is a top notch registrar!

I got exactly the same experience with netfirms. They ask me to send a copy of my credit card to them. Such practice is abnormal, they don’t even have a privacy policy telling me how long they’ll keep my credit card image. If you go to a restaurant and the waiter make a copy of your credit card when you pay, it is obviously a fraud and I’m going to call the police immediately.
I’m very regret for using it. Hope I could get a way to revoke my order and register my domains elsewhere.
