I was a happy Netlify user for years until they silently took down my app without warning. They blocked my account based on a bogus DMCA claim, the details of which point to a DIFFERENT app with a similar name. Unacceptable behavior from a hosting provider. I'll never use them again.


This seems like human error. How did they handle it when you contacted them?


Oh, that's the best part. The support team sent me an incoherent message semi-explaining the ban and then blocked my email preventing me from responding to explain their mistake! Just stone-walled with no path for remediation. And just to be clear, I was not being rude/aggressive in my messages or anything like that.


Is that other app still up?


Nope, the other app they mistake for mine was taken down too. Maybe with just cause, I don't know. All I know is my app was unrelated and innocent.
