Remove your domain from blacklists - the easy way that costs nothing
"Dee da la la"…. The music stops, and just like musical chairs you are stuck with a domain that does not resolve on major browsers, and virus/phishing protection services like BitDefender are blocking your domain from resolving.

What did I do? I didn’t do anything wrong. I just bought this domain name. Why am I being punished?
This is a story that is as old as time, just as old as musical chairs or pop goes the weasel. A domain was used for nefarious purposes like phishing, spam, just plain bad luck or had some sort of a bad actor/spam site resolving on it. The internet police (who share information) put it on a list, and now it is blocked. When it gets blocked the scammer or the bad actor that owned it before you either deleted the domain to hide the evidence, let it expire, or potentially sold it to you for thousands of dollars. No matter how you ended up with it you want it to work so how do I fix it?
Fear not! Just follow these easy steps, and we will help you get your domain name back to being as good as new. Before we go any further, if you find yourself in a situation that you feel like you have to pay money for these services to remove the domain off of a blacklist or their black list you are in the wrong spot on their website or on the wrong website. Requesting removal from these lists is free if you go to the right place.
Step 1
In this particular case we used the example FTX.US (This is a joke, we used another blocked named, but used this as an example.)
See why Sucuri has a problem with your domain name. In this case it is being used to distribute malware!
