    if you let the domain drop you run the risk of someone else catching it.

            How many days are you initial expiration? Godaddy is notorious for stretching and even breaking the ICANN rules. That's yet another reason to avoid them.

              I am not worried as the domain name is not interesting at all. I have just used it for an email communication with sponsors so I want to get ti back. I will wait..

                You'd be surprised. You can backorder it yourself cheaper than 91 bucks, so that's another option. Good luck.

                        Its about 6 or 7 years old domain, not much traffic though. Well, I will see. I wont pay more than the regular price for it.

                        .. and thanks for the tip ;-)

                              Register.Com got me like that for a domain I got through snapnames. They didnt send a reminder that the domain was going to expire, so it slipped through the cracks. I normally move them but I forgot about that one. I think their fee was $75.

                                  Stop.

                                  Now let's get to the root of this story because this type of situation is EXACTLY how the name of a company gets dragged through the mud because of USER ERROR. Unfortunately everyone then jumps on the bandwagon adding their two cents.

                                  1. Godaddy is well-known for their advance notification of when a domain name is going to expire, sometimes MONTHS before the date arrives.

                                  2. Godaddy then will give notification a week before and AGAIN on the date when the domain name expires.

                                  3. There is a feature called "auto-renewal" that automatically renews the domain name using a credit card on the account. This is set to "on" by default.

                                  4. Don't attempt to give the excuse that you don't want Godaddy having your saved CC#. Get a prepaid debit card and use that. Even if the balance on the card is insufficient, Godaddy will attempt to process the card on the expiration date and will email to tell you that the CC authorization failed. You can then put your $7+ (cost of domain renewal with a godaddy coupon that you can find on google in less than 2 minutes) on your debit card and renew.

                                  5. Even if you don't renew the domain name within the first week, Godaddy will send a reminder email on alternate email accounts. Sometimes they will CALL you. After that, they even send you a pre-last chance email that is still valid for you to renew at a regular price.

                                  When that "last chance" email hits, you have no one to blame, but yourself for not renewing. So do not complain as if it is GoDaddy's fault.

                                  It is time someone told the truth about these types of situations. Handle your business like a business.

                                        Yes he fucked up. He let it expire and he should have either had auto-renewal or put it on his calender. However, GoDaddy is not a good registrar. Read the stories: http://nodaddy.com/

                                        Not allowing outgoing transfers for 60 days upon modifying whois records is stretching; if not breaking, ICANN rules.

                                        Then read this as examples of their administrative fees:

                                        We present to you the following solution to resolve this issue:

                                        First, reply to [email protected] with a statement that you (or your employees, affiliates, 3rd party marketers, etc.) will no longer send messages to individuals that did not ask to receive information specifically from your domain name.

                                        Second, include in this statement authorization for GoDaddy.com to charge a $199 non-refundable administration fee to the credit card on file for your account (you may want to log into your Go Daddy account and confirm that the card on file is valid and has not expired).

                                        Go Daddy believes this solution to be a fair one that will ensure that you will correct the problem on your end, and prevent any future violations of Go Daddy's Anti-Spam policy. Additionally your services are not interrupted and your customers and affiliates are not inconvenienced. If you reply with this statement and agree to pay this fee, Go Daddy will accept this, in good faith, as proof of your commitment to correct this problem. If not, your domain name may be immediately redirected and your service suspended."
                                        If you're going to use them that's fine but be warned that you are dealing with snakes.

                                          Now let's get to the root of this story because this type of situation is EXACTLY how the name of a company gets dragged through the mud because of USER ERROR. Unfortunately everyone then jumps on the bandwagon adding their two cents.

                                          1. Godaddy is well-known for their advance notification of when a domain name is going to expire, sometimes MONTHS before the date arrives.

                                          2. Godaddy then will give notification a week before and AGAIN on the date when the domain name expires.

                                          3. There is a feature called "auto-renewal" that automatically renews the domain name using a credit card on the account. This is set to "on" by default.

                                          4. Don't attempt to give the excuse that you don't want Godaddy having your saved CC#. Get a prepaid debit card and use that. Even if the balance on the card is insufficient, Godaddy will attempt to process the card on the expiration date and will email to tell you that the CC authorization failed. You can then put your $7+ (cost of domain renewal with a godaddy coupon that you can find on google in less than 2 minutes) on your debit card and renew.

                                          5. Even if you don't renew the domain name within the first week, Godaddy will send a reminder email on alternate email accounts. Sometimes they will CALL you. After that, they even send you a pre-last chance email that is still valid for you to renew at a regular price.

                                          When that "last chance" email hits, you have no one to blame, but yourself for not renewing. So do not complain as if it is GoDaddy's fault.

                                          It is time someone told the truth about these types of situations. Handle your business like a business.

                                              I agree about using valid Whois info up to a point. But if I don't answer some auto-dialer or reply to some stupid email that got caught in my spam folder (or I am on vacation) I shouldn't be charged $9.95. Anyway what about the other issue with the $200 fee? Like I said, a bunch a snakes waiting to bite. It doesn't seem smart to do business with people who are waiting to pounce on you for every little thing. Why bother when the alternatives are better?

                                                Call them and you should be able to get it down to $40, I have done this twice. But it was my fault for ignoring the expiration warnings.

                                                    How about we agree to disagree and we have different expectations for registrars instead.

                                                      Your domain expired. What are you whining about?

                                                      Looks like GoDaddy actually provides a valuable service, where you can still get your expired domains back.

                                                        I'm far from an advocate for godaddy, but those two examples you quoted are not convincing, (neither is half the stuff that is on Nodaddy).

                                                        The 1st example is a case of carelessness because Godaddy not only notifies you (while signing up) of the importance of having correct whois info, they email you the information you signed up with AFTER the order process. Then randomly through the year, they will send you another notification regarding correct Whois info.

                                                        And the second example is a matter of a person in the business of affiliate marketing who clearly is unprepared for the legal ramifications of such a business. Who in their right mind has NO contact info for their affiliates?
                                                        That is not Godaddy's issue and it sounds a bit suspect.

                                                        A lot of those nodaddy examples, from the ones that I read through every time something like this comes up, are merely instances of people not reading, ignoring email messages or not taking the time to familiarize themselves with the GD interface. Too many people are playing webmaster and GD (nor any other registrar) should have to babysit them though the entire process.

                                                        I used to listen to the anti-GD crowd, but I've had small time domains with them for years with no issues. Incompetence is pervasive in modern day society, and some people just want an excuse to complain. I use multiple registrars and will never put all my eggs in one basket.

                                                          We can do that as well, just remember this conversation in the back of your mind. I have yet to have one person, friend or foe, that has been able to show me an example of the problem being GoDaddy's and not something that the webmaster brought upon themselves.

                                                          And some of the suggestions of alternate choices make me laugh on a regular basis.

                                                            Now let's get to the root of this story because this type of situation is EXACTLY how the name of a company gets dragged through the mud because of USER ERROR. Unfortunately everyone then jumps on the bandwagon adding their two cents.

                                                            1. Godaddy is well-known for their advance notification of when a domain name is going to expire, sometimes MONTHS before the date arrives.

                                                            2. Godaddy then will give notification a week before and AGAIN on the date when the domain name expires.

                                                            3. There is a feature called "auto-renewal" that automatically renews the domain name using a credit card on the account. This is set to "on" by default.

                                                            4. Don't attempt to give the excuse that you don't want Godaddy having your saved CC#. Get a prepaid debit card and use that. Even if the balance on the card is insufficient, Godaddy will attempt to process the card on the expiration date and will email to tell you that the CC authorization failed. You can then put your $7+ (cost of domain renewal with a godaddy coupon that you can find on google in less than 2 minutes) on your debit card and renew.

                                                            5. Even if you don't renew the domain name within the first week, Godaddy will send a reminder email on alternate email accounts. Sometimes they will CALL you. After that, they even send you a pre-last chance email that is still valid for you to renew at a regular price.

                                                            When that "last chance" email hits, you have no one to blame, but yourself for not renewing. So do not complain as if it is GoDaddy's fault.

                                                            It is time someone told the truth about these types of situations. Handle your business like a business.

                                                              And on top of it all you actually are admitting that they had notified you? Tell the truth. How long was it before you clued in that you needed to renew the domain? Perhaps the next time you let a domain name lapse they should just let someone else scoop it up, instead of keeping it for you, which ultimately is NOT their responsibility.

                                                              In regards to the word "Idiot", you need to take a look in the mirror and cast that insult again.

                                                              All that I am saying is that it is deceptive and unfair to place the blame on Godaddy for what amounts to your own glaring incompetence. Claims such as yours assist in giving companies a crappy name for no reason.

I had to reply lots of questions and I sent the credit card and Id scanned a while after to get my other domains, never got an answer. Fuck them. 3 domain lost... no really important one, all thought free-porn.biz was kinda cool.

                                                                                        I've had domains w/ GD for years and never had an issue, they do an exceptional job of reminding you by email multiple times of expiring domains and you can't log in to your account without being alerted to the status of your expiring domains.

                                                                                        I use google calendar as a daily task reminder and it works great for listing all your domains on the dates of their expiration.
                                                                                        Its super simple, you can set it up to give you a pop up reminder on the due date, you can also set it up to repeat the domain every yr on the same date so once you set it up you don't have to worry about re-listing it every year. You can add notes like who the registrar is etc... If you use multiple calendars you can color code the domains calendar to stand out from the others.
                                                                                        Its also nice to see all your domains that are due that month visible at a glance and reminding you every time (daily) you log in to the calendar.
                                                                                        Works great for me
