Domain Suspension Rescue Kit
Step-by-step appeal and recovery when a registrar or site builder locks your account
- Problem
- A user transferred a .com domain to Wix and later found the account blocked; support kept demanding photos of a bank card and passport without explaining the block or agreeing to unblock. When a domain, account and site are all tied together, individual site owners often don't know whom to contact or in what order to appeal.
- Solution
- An interactive checklist tool that generates a step-by-step appeal flow based on the platform and assets involved (domain, email, website), drafts appeal email templates, records a ticket timeline, and flags when to escalate to an ICANN complaint or registrar transfer as a fallback.
- Users
- Individual site owners, indie developers, small cross-border e-commerce operators
- MVP
- Guided appeal flows for 5-8 common domain/site-builder platforms; email template generation; ticket timeline and reminders; exportable PDF record; no automatic submission
- Revenue
- One-time purchase per appeal pack, or annual subscription for template library updates and multi-site management
- Why now
- Site-building platforms have opaque compliance and increasingly automated bans, leaving small users with little leverage. This knowledge is scattered across forums and support threads, perfect for a solo developer to structure.
