[Nfb-web] Automatic Domain renuel

Tue Jul 19 22:35:20 UTC 2011

Hello Mike and everyone,

    I'm talking about non-NFB Domains in addition to the top-level domains 
purchassed by some NFB Affiliates.

Peter Donahue who likes fail-safe solutions.

Peter,

You know what I never, ever have to renew my domain name. Our domain
name is http://www.ne.nfb.org. Since it is part of Nationals domain
they take care of it.
