No they sell your info as soon as you buy a domain and then they try to sell you a site for a low price but end up charging you tons.

Its bait and switch, you also probably didn't buy private domain registration which allows predators to start trying to sell you stuff right out of the gate.

Many of these type of companies will hack your site if you don't buy their stuff as well. The net is a shady place.

So the Indian guy called my this morning and told me my website wasnt working. I thought that was off because everything seemed fine when I was last on it Thursday last week. So I type in the URL and sure enough it reads, "this site cannot be reached. ____.com refused to connect.

i try to use my admin URL and still the same thing. Anyone dealt with this before?

Not sure if these guys hacked me trying me to use their services to recover my website, or if this is all just a coincidence. I never game them any information, so its hard to believe they hacked me, but who knows.

What exactly does the error message say?

I seriously doubt they hacked you, it's probably just a coincidence.

Definitely seems to be a DNS issue. Error message, and the fact that I can't find any records for your domain.

Where did you buy the domain? That's where you'll find your DNS Zone.

I bought my domain through hostgator about 2 weeks ago.

Log into your Hostgator account and look at your domain settings. There should be an option to Edit DNS somewhere in there.
