Tell HN: Porkbun charges $50/hr to resolve unauthorized 3rd party access
In the Porkbun T&Cs, they can charge you $50/hr as part of the resolution process.
> If You contact Us alleging that a third party has unauthorized access to Your Account or domain names, We may charge You administrative Fees, currently set at fifty dollars ($50) per hour, for our time spent in relation to the matter, regardless of whether or not We return control over the Account and/or domain name(s) to You. You will indemnify Us for any reasonable attorneys' Fees and costs We may incur in relation to the matter, even if those fees and costs accrue as a result of defending an action, or responding to a threat of an action, initiated by You or a third party.
I am unsure why this condition is in there. If I'm seeking to recover my account from an unauthorized party, surely the last thing I need is additional stress?
