I caught Hover.com doing something similar[1] a couple of years ago. They were adding forwards not for subdomains but paths of the root domain. I actually switched to Name.com for this very reason, troubling to see another pulling this stuff.

- ricardobeat 14y agoAt the end of the post you say you fully believe their explanation (that those are added as forwarding examples on new accounts). Which one is it?
- MatthewPhillips 14y agoWhat do you mean? I believed their explanation but wanted to leave anyways. I don't want them redirecting my domains regardless of intent.
- sahaskatta 14y agoI moved quite a few domains to Hover within the last 2 months. I went and immediately checked the forwards section after reading your comment. Thankfully, there are ZERO forwards setup. I'm guessing they stopped pre-configuring example forwards for demonstration purposes.
- nkozyra 14y agoThey did. I use Hover now, and while they still have a dumb landing page for unused subdomains (which I disable immediately on first login), they aren't doing the forwards by default.
