一名用户在域名注册商Hover上的遭遇引发关注。该用户注册的域名onlyfans.sexy在续费时被意外收取3000美元，相比此前六年一直维持的38美元续费价格，涨幅高达近80倍[1]。用户随后联系Hover客服寻求退款，但被告知"Hover does not have the ability to override or reverse pricing set by the registry"[1]。Hover援引其"无退款政策"拒绝处理[1]。
价格调整的通知在续费前分别以三天和一天的提醒邮件形式发送给用户[1]。.sexy域名的注册局为Uniregistry[1]。用户对这一遭遇提出质疑，认为这可能构成欺诈行为[1]。
A user reported being unexpectedly charged $3,000 to renew a domain registered through Hover, a dramatic increase from the $38 annual renewal fee the domain had cost for six years prior [1]. The affected domain, onlyfans.sexy, saw its renewal price surge without prior notice, with price change alerts arriving only three days and one day before the renewal deadline [1].
When the user contacted Hover's customer support seeking recourse, the company declined to issue a refund, stating that "Hover does not have the ability to override or reverse pricing set by the registry" [1]. The registrar cited its no refund policy and attributed the price adjustment to Uniregistry, the registry operator for the .sexy domain extension, which unilaterally set the new rate [1]. The user questioned whether the sudden price increase and refusal to reverse the charge constituted fraudulent practice [1].
