A few of their tactics to keep domains with them:
- No transfers away possible when whois data is shielded
- No transfers away possible for 60 days after any change to the domain - think registrant contact, nameservers (?), just anything you can imagine

They feature the most extensively cross-sale filled checkout process in the business (but Moniker comes close!).

They're not even cheap!

I beg you, please register your next domain with a decent registrar! It would make life for everyone so much easier...
