The Register.com $1,500,000 TCPA Settlement is a class action where eligible consumers who received unsolicited calls or text messages from Register.com, LLC without prior express written consent can receive a cash payment by filing a claim before the deadline posted at registertcpasettlement.com. The lawsuit alleged that Register.com — the web hosting and domain registration company — violated the federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), 47 U.S.C. § 227, by contacting consumers without the legally required consent. Register.com denies all wrongdoing but agreed to a $1,500,000 settlement to resolve the claims.

What Is the Register.com Lawsuit About? Lewis v. Register.com, LLC

Register.com is one of the oldest and most recognized domain registration and web hosting companies in the United States. Millions of small business owners and individual website operators have used Register.com’s services to register domain names, build websites, and manage their online presence. The company is currently owned by Newfold Digital, formerly Web.com Group.

The plaintiff in this case — identified as Lewis — alleged that Register.com violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, 47 U.S.C. § 227, by placing calls or sending text messages to consumers using an automated telephone dialing system (ATDS) or prerecorded voice, without obtaining the legally required prior express written consent. The TCPA is one of the strongest consumer protection laws on the books. Congress passed it specifically because automated dialing systems can bombard thousands of people in minutes — and consumers who never asked to be contacted deserve a legal remedy. Under the TCPA, each unlawful call or text can give rise to statutory damages of $500 to $1,500 per violation.

The proposed class period — the window of time during which eligible contacts allegedly occurred — is TBD pending confirmation from the official settlement documents. Register.com has denied all allegations and does not admit any wrongdoing. The company agreed to pay $1,500,000 to settle the case and put it behind them rather than face the uncertainty and expense of continued litigation. This type of consumer rights lawsuit over unauthorized marketing calls is similar to other TCPA cases we have covered, such as the Venmo TCPA lawsuit update for 2026 and the broader GM OnStar data and consumer rights litigation, where companies faced class-wide accountability for how they communicated with their customers.

Who Qualifies for the Register.com TCPA Settlement?

Here is how to tell whether this settlement includes you. The class is defined by two things: the type of communication you received and whether you gave Register.com permission to contact you that way.

You may qualify if:

• You received a call or text message from Register.com, LLC — or from someone calling or texting on Register.com’s behalf — during the covered class period
• The call or text was made using an automated telephone dialing system, a prerecorded voice message, or was otherwise subject to TCPA restrictions
• You did not give Register.com prior express written consent to be contacted in this manner
• You are a U.S. consumer (the class is nationwide)
• You are a current or former Register.com customer, or a person whose number was contacted in connection with Register.com’s marketing or business operations

You do NOT qualify if:

• You gave Register.com clear written consent to contact you by phone or text for the type of call you received
• You are an officer, director, employee, or agent of Register.com or its parent company at the time of the alleged contacts
• You are excluded by the specific class definition in the court-approved settlement — review the full definition at registertcpasettlement.com

If you received a notice by mail or email about this settlement, that means your contact information appeared in Register.com’s calling or texting records. That is a strong signal you are a class member. Even if you did not receive a notice, you may still be eligible — check the official settlement website or call the settlement administrator to confirm. Consulting a consumer rights lawyer about your specific situation costs nothing upfront, since most TCPA attorneys offer a free legal consultation. If you are interested in pursuing an individual claim for a larger per-violation recovery, an attorney can also advise you on whether opting out of the class makes sense.

How Much Can You Get from the Register.com Settlement?

The total settlement fund is $1,500,000. Before any money reaches class members, the court will approve deductions for attorneys’ fees (typically 25%–33% of the fund in TCPA cases), litigation costs, notice and administration expenses, and any plaintiff service award to the named plaintiff Lewis.

The remainder — the Net Settlement Fund — will be distributed pro rata among all valid claimants. Pro rata means your share depends on how many people file valid claims. In TCPA settlements, the per-person payment varies widely based on participation. If relatively few people file, individual checks can be meaningfully larger. If participation is high, amounts are smaller. Based on typical recovery patterns in comparable TCPA class actions settled at the $1.5 million level, individual payments generally range from approximately $25 to $200 per claimant, though the actual amount in this case depends entirely on total claim volume and court-approved deductions.

The official claim form at registertcpasettlement.com will show you exactly what documentation — if any — you need to provide to support your claim. Most TCPA settlements do not require proof of the specific call or text; eligibility is typically verified against the defendant’s own calling records.

Step-by-Step: How to File Your Register.com TCPA Claim Form

Step 1 — Go to the official settlement website: www.registertcpasettlement.com. This is the only authorized site for this settlement. Do not submit claims through any third-party site.

Step 2 — Locate the claim form. If you received a notice with a Claim ID or PIN, have that ready — it speeds up the verification process.

Step 3 — Enter your personal information: full name, current mailing address, phone number that received the alleged contact, and email address.

Step 4 — Confirm your eligibility by affirming that you received a call or text from Register.com during the covered period without having provided prior express written consent.

Step 5 — Submit any required supporting documentation per the claim form instructions. In most TCPA settlements, no additional proof is required beyond your identifying information.

Step 6 — Submit your claim online before the deadline, or mail the completed paper form to the settlement administrator so it is postmarked by the claim deadline. Save your confirmation number or submission receipt.

Estimated time to complete: 5–10 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a lawyer to file a Register.com TCPA settlement claim?

 No. You can file your claim directly at registertcpasettlement.com without hiring an attorney. Class counsel has already negotiated this settlement on behalf of all class members. If you want advice about whether to file, opt out, or pursue an individual TCPA claim for a potentially larger recovery, most consumer rights lawyers offer a free legal consultation with no obligation.

Is this Register.com settlement legitimate?

 Yes. This is a court-supervised class action brought under the federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act, 47 U.S.C. § 227. The official settlement website is registertcpasettlement.com. If you received a postcard or email notice about this settlement, it was authorized by the court. Verify all details directly on the official site before submitting any personal information.

When will I receive my payment?

 Payments are distributed after the court grants final approval at the scheduled approval hearing and after any appeal period resolves. Based on typical TCPA settlement timelines, payments are generally issued four to eight months after the claim deadline. The official settlement website will post payment timing updates.

What if I missed the claim deadline?

 The claim deadline controls your eligibility for payment. If you miss it, you will not receive a payment from this settlement — but you will still be bound by the release of claims if you remain in the class. Submit your claim as early as possible to avoid missing the window.

Will this settlement payment affect my taxes?

 Possibly. TCPA settlement payments may be treated as ordinary income or as a return of statutory damages depending on the circumstances. Consult a tax advisor for guidance specific to your situation. Neither the settlement administrator nor class counsel provides individual tax advice.

What is the TCPA and why does it matter?

 The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (47 U.S.C. § 227) is a federal law passed in 1991 that restricts unsolicited calls and texts made with automated dialing systems or prerecorded voices. It gives every consumer the right to say no to robocalls and spam texts — and the right to seek $500 to $1,500 per violation if a company ignores that right. TCPA class action settlement eligibility does not require you to prove you were financially harmed — receiving an unconsented call or text is itself the violation.

Can I get more money by opting out and filing my own lawsuit? 

Possibly. If you believe you received a large number of unconsented contacts from Register.com, opting out of the class settlement preserves your right to pursue individual TCPA claims at $500 to $1,500 per call or text. Whether that strategy makes sense depends on your specific facts. A class action lawsuit attorney can advise you at no upfront cost.
