so i bought this domain and it sits with dotster - I log in and transfer name servers but when I look around there's nothing for free - I was gonna do url forwarding until I get the site up but... wtf? this domain registrar has a fee for everything even url forwarding - never seen so many hidden fees - anyone else deal with this dotster?

I bought a domain there once for my daughter to play around because she is learning html, and because I wanted the package that included the free hosting for her. It was a waste because their hosting is crap and there is indeed a fee for everything else you might want to use. You can't even use php with it. You get what you pay for.

yeah i've used dotster before, but only because they bought one of my expired domains (my bad i wasn't watching) and when i got it back i was set up a dotster account for it. Just never moved it.

I already tried - they wont transfer until 60 days after ownership transfer - another fee trap
