Domain Registry of America

http://www.droa.com/ - who the hell are these people? They sent me a letter from a London address.
Why are they trying to get me to renew my domain name (just one for some reason) with them? At a bargain price of $25 a year??

Looks like a very shady operation to me... there are many operations like this going around - I use to get phone calls from one company asking me to transfer my domain names to them... stick with brandname registrars -- I suggest you check out <a href="http://www.directnic.com/?7274">Directnic - $15 domain names.</a>

I've been using powerpipe for a while now with little hassle - it just seems very shady that DRoA have contacted me nearly 3 months before this one domain (not even a good name) is due to expire and want to charge me 4 times as much as powerpipe

there's been some scams going around like that, i read something online a while back about it.

it's fucked up, just stay with your current provider. they're probably trying to get you to switch to their service at a lot higher price

some of these guys make it look really important (like it comes from gov't), but it's not.
