I bought this domain, noctunedigital.com, this week and have already had so many problems with my website being blocked, flagged, and blacklisted. Apparently, this domain was previously owned and used for phishing. I had no idea and am mortified. But there’s not really much I can do other than write the security vendors and ask them to remove it from their blacklists or… buy a new domain. For now I’m trying to resolve this by completing all the necessary forms to get me off the blacklists, but if that doesn’t work… I might just have to buy another domain and set it up again along with my email. Wish me luck!
For those of you who are also going through this and seeing your website being blocked for no apparent reason, I highly recommend checking your domain to see if it’s on any blacklists. You can do that here: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/home/url
Just enter your domain name (noctunedigital.com) and tap search to see if and how many security vendors have listed your website as malicious.
These are the links to the 3 security vendors that I had to submit my request for removal to:
AlphaMountain.ai https://alphamountain.freshdesk.com/support/tickets/new
BitDefender https://www.bitdefender.com/consumer/support/answer/29358
G-Data https://submit.gdatasoftware.com/url
And if there’s another security vendor you’d like to contact to have your website removed from their blacklist, there’s a huge list on One Hour Site Fix where you can access pretty much all of them to submit your requests. Here’s the link: https://tickets.onehoursitefix.com/kb/faq.php?id=163
Just click the link above to head over to their website, and scroll down until you find the security vendors that have your site blacklisted. You should find a link to each one that will help you submit your request.
Here’s the script I created for myself that I submitted to all three security vendors:
Hello, I just bought a domain and it’s on the [alphamountain.ai] blacklist, which is preventing my clients from being able to view my website. Can you please remove my domain (noctunedigital.com) from the blacklist so my website will no longer be listed for phishing? I just purchased this domain (you can verify this on whois.com) and I’ve never done anything negative with it. I am just a small business trying to get started. Thank you.
Make sure you change the sections I’ve bolded above to fit your own request.
I hope ya’ll have good luck getting your websites unblocked. I’m not sure how long it will take as I’m still waiting for my website to be removed from the blacklists. I just emailed them this morning. Like I said, if nothing else works, I’ll be buying a new domain soon enough lol.
UPDATE 03/09/2026: My website is finally working after a week of support tickets with my web host who were ZERO help. I did the research, tested my website, and resolved the issue completely on my own. And you can too. I hope this post will help someone who’s struggling with this same issue in the future and if ya’ll have questions or need assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
UPDATE: 03/09/2026: So, I got blacklisted on another security vendor today. I’m guessing they added me before the other three vendors cleared my domain. But I already emailed them and asked for them to be removed. Fingers crossed! 🤞
