Yikes! NOT a good situation. i think we ought to have a hall of shame and boycott such companies. Even from a purely commercial angle, these people MUST be taught a lesson. i guess let's have a hall of shame on our website as for this. We could also have a meter which people can click on saying : ``Total number of people agreeing to boycott so and so company".
there is a company called reduff or something. A friend booked a domain name through them. I was supposed to set up the site - so she went to the admin panel and tried to point the domain to my nameservers. The menu option was there, it said 'done', but the domain was not getting pointed. She contacted the co, they said it will take 48 hours to propagate. She kept trying for a week. Nothing happened. Then I tried and found redirection was not working - it had been disabled. She yelled at them, they denied it. I issued a legal notice with copy to dot in registrar and demanded 10,000 INR damages - they sent a courier with a refund immediatly.
