[Nfb-web] Automatic Domain renuel

Tue Jul 19 22:01:10 UTC 2011

Hello Cheryl and everyone,

    It's not the price that's the issue. Rather it's being able to have your 
site domains renewed automatically by the domain host so you don't need to 
worry about them expiring when you least expect them to. I had to deal with 
this prior to last year's national convention and this one. Does Godaddy 
have live tech support you can call when something goes a rhy such as a 
password not being recognized? Whether we're talking about air travel or Web 
site hosting around here we value convenience more than price. My host 
charges $15.00 for domain registration but having a human you can talk to 
when issues arise and have your domain automatically renewed each year is a 
tremendous value than being forced to interact with robots all the time and 
discovering that Web sites are down due to an expired domain. On this last 
point what's that saying that "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of 
cure." All the best.

  Hello Brian and everyone,

      But they won't automatically renew the domain? No thanks. I've had one
  too many scrambles over expiring and expired domains and don't care to 
have
  any more of them.

  hi,

  register will sign you up for a five year block and they send reminders 
when
  your renewal date is coming a few months before the due date.
