How to do a takedown on a malicious domain which is registered through GoDaddy. **Step 1:** To begin, navigate to [Report Abuse](https://extendedsupport.godaddy.com/abusereport) to open an abuse case support ticket. **Step 2:** When guided to their support center, select **Phishing.** ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex028/uploads/checkphish/original/1X/7f38517d070786d0d4932c231381d7b7d7a539a5.png) **Step 3:** Fill in your email address and provide the malicious domain name and associated URLs. Please note that you can only report one domain at a time, so if you have multiple malicious domains you will need to create separate reports. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex028/uploads/checkphish/original/1X/cc3567f0764d8f3eb47fb545b36966eb24a28ca4.png) **Step 4:** If you know the company that is being impersonated select yes. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex028/uploads/checkphish/original/1X/b0432559bfa80aa09fb5df1d2c412d9ca5b16c1c.png) **Step 5** : If a proxy is not required, leave it checked “ **no** ” and select “ **next.** ” If a proxy is required to view the malicious content, please select “ **yes** ” and use the drop down to select the country-specific proxy that is required and select “ **next**.” ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex028/uploads/checkphish/original/1X/b29209d25298da82f880f2e339d20fb0094f9047.jpeg) **Step 6** : Provide an extremely detailed description of the abuse taking place, then select “ **next.** ” ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex028/uploads/checkphish/original/1X/282429f08c27dde0f7ee07177a90177836833975.png) **Step 7** : Confirm that you are submitting the report in good faith and that you are a human by checking the boxes. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex028/uploads/checkphish/original/1X/ccedbb4517b91d90f3fa3b12ea45bcf3b03aa22b.png) **Step 8** : Select “Submit” \ ***Please note that GoDaddy receives a high volume of requests, so upon submission you will not receive an email confirmation, nor will they send an email once they have reviewed your case.** \ ***Please also note that due to the volume of submissions, takedown times for GoDaddy have fluctuated between 6-12 weeks.** ---
