Reporting Abuse

How to report abuse

Our team has been fighting phishing, botnets, malware, and other forms of abuse for years, and we have robust procedures and tools in place to prevent and mitigate such attacks. To combat this type of abuse, our team uses advanced technologies and works with security companies, independent experts, law enforcement, and industry working groups. We have broad discretion to take action if customers abuse our services with phishing, malware, etc.

What happens with your report

When an abuse report is received, it is routed to our dedicated Abuse Team where it will be queued and processed. Due to the volume of reports we receive daily, we cannot guarantee a personal response to each message we receive. However, we will endeavor to reply to individual inquiries in cases where a personal response is requested or necessary. Otherwise, please rest assured that we will take necessary action to ensure our Terms of Service (as well as applicable US/state laws) are being respected. All abuse reports are logged and tracked individually. As such, we ask that each report be limited to one domain name. For multiple instances of abuse on a single domain, please include them in a single report in order to ensure a timely resolution.

Domain names registered with Granville One

Please note that there are instances where we may not be able to verify or take restrictive action on an abuse report if a domain name is not hosted on our network, even if the domain name is registered with Granville One, as we do not have access to third-party servers. In order to expedite resolution, we recommend that abuse reports concerning content or activity hosted on third-party servers be reported to their respective hosting providers.
