All registrars suck. They all have thier little games they like to play and little ways they like to fuck you.

You let the domain go, but you can get it back one of three ways:

1. Pay the redemption fee. Suck it up.

2. Go to another registrar and use thier "Backorder" feature, which may be alot cheaper than paying the redemption fee, but is not guranteed. As soon as the domain goes out of redemption, the backorder place will try to snap it up. It usually works, though. I would use Network Soultions for this, since they seem to be the fastest about trying to get it back in my experince.

3. Take a chance, let it go back into the pool and re-register it. Its about a 80/20 shot, your odds being the 20%. Those places that grab up domains and point them at fake little search engines will take ANYTHING.
