Dear Julia,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We’re genuinely sorry that you feel this way, but we’d like to respectfully clarify the facts.
Your domain was indeed originally registered in your name. However, in early 2023, your renewal payment lapsed, putting the domain at risk of expiring and becoming available to the public. To protect your organisation from losing its domain (and email access), Cross Digital covered the renewal fee as a gesture of goodwill, not as an attempt to take ownership.
You were invoiced solely for direct costs incurred (domain and hosting), with no markup or service fee, and informed that full domain control would be transferred once the invoice was settled. This was communicated clearly, and full admin access was transferred within 24 hours of payment, along with detailed steps for you to remove our access.
We regret that the situation led to frustration, but we feel it was important to act responsibly to protect your online presence when services were left unpaid for over a year.
Cross Digital remains committed to integrity, clarity, and going the extra mile for clients, even when things are difficult.
Feel free to get in touch if you require additional assistance.
The Cross Digital Team
