  • This company store $300 of mine which I had in credit and refuse to pay it back. Worth mentioning that I was with them for over 3 years when this happened. Really disappointed with Name Hero.

  • Thanks for all the recent how-to videos. It's so helpful to set things up on my sites so I can focus on building my business.
