Bump for warnings about moniker

:2 cents: ...

Even though domains go through a redemption period and then a deletion period, technically after a domain passes it's expiration date, it no longer belongs to you. I know what you mean though, that it is nice to at least have a backup plan, if something goes wrong with renewing so that you can recover your domain from the redemption period. Do they charge extra to renew your domain after it goes into redemption?

We use namecheap. Never had a problem with them.

I have very limited experience with them, but it isn't good. I registered one domain with them a long time ago. Not too long ago it expired. I didn't realize it had. When I realized it had expired I was unable to renew/reactivate it. I contact them and they basically told me since it had expired they would hold it and I had to pay them $125 to reactivate it.

I had nothing on the domain so I didn't do it, but it kind of sucks that they immediately hit you with that kind fee if a domain expires.

I had issues with Moniker recently. Will most likely be transferring domains away from them in the near future.

What issues?

Wow, you mean people are waking up? nah

Wanting some domains to lapse and getting my card dinged an extra time without my approval. Took a half dozen phone calls to get something so miniscule fixed. And I don't think the situation even got fixed so I gave up.

moniker gives you 30 days to renew at the normal rate, so your domain must of been past that.
