How and where can I file an abuse complaint?
If you need to report a domain name, email address, or IP address that is involved in illegal or abusive activity, here are some tips to follow to make this process easier.
To submit a support ticket, please visit REPORT ABUSE
Here you will select the type of abuse and fill out a form that provides the necessary evidence.
As always, please substantiate your allegations with concrete evidence and/or other relevant information to verify the incident of abuse and help us take appropriate action. Keep in mind that depending on the type of issue you wish to report, the evidence may vary.
The following list describes the most common types of abuse we investigate and the required evidence we expect from you to support our investigation:

Multiple complaints regarding the same issue should be combined in a single support ticket, ensuring that tickets are not duplicated.

This reduces cross-referencing and confusion, contributing to efficient and timely communication.
