Ok I guess this is going to be a poll.
I have been so busy running 3 websites, and working a string of paysites, that I completely forgotten that two of my free sites expired yesterday.
Actually I naively assumed, yes I know "Assumption is the mother of all fuck ups" from Under Siege 2, that DirectNIC.com would send me a reminder email that these two domains where about to expire.
But no freaking way! They just let them expire yesterday, without a word. I have registrering new names with GoDaddy.com and am now trying move these two shut-down sites to them too, if only !@#$!@$ DirectNIC.com had not put a !@#$!$ "grace" lock on my sites, and from there website I can't unlock them myself, so now I am waiting for their lame support to unlock them so I can move transfer them.
Early last year they stopped a site for a few days, because of then ASIC and lack of communication from them to DirectNIC.com saying that is was all a mistake.
Yikes!
Anyways, my question to your webmasters and webmistresses is what is your experience with DirectNIC.com?
