I bought a domain from them about 3 months ago (luckily for one year). I decided to choose them because there were good references regarding privacy. So I started to point my self-hosted services (with proper certications and stuff) which were solely used by myself and my family, to the domain and subdomains. So far, so good.
Suddenly, my domains stopped working. I went to the admin dashboard and tried to click on “Manage,” but the button wasn’t working. I checked the button code, and it was labeled as “disabled.” So I contacted support, and I won’t provide much more explanation; I will just paste their response.

We don’t refund services, and your domain has been suspended for violating our terms of service, for among other things, being flagged as malicious by various browsers.

from you - now
What terms did I violate and how? Do you have evidence? You are not even providing a notification, nor a reason, nor any evidence. And you just go ahead and suspend my domain??? What kind of service are you providing? Are you self-hosting the servers? For the record, I was just self-hosting my own services and was doing nothing wrong. I don’t even understand why this is happening. And if you can’t give me a clear reason, I will go ahead and spread everywhere what you did, including the fact that you are not even refunding me.
Edit: adding their “profesional” response. I assumed they just stole my money and my domain. I’m not able to even enter to manage my domain. They just disabled the button … wtf

Why was your domain flagged by security vendors as malicious?
That sounds problematic. Where do they detail this?
