LESSON OF THE DAY - renew your domains before they expire
 

Learned today that if you put off renewing domains they will expire and someone will enjoy a free 50,000 hits a day for a while

www.categorizedcunt.com :Oh crap

yeah, tell me about it

Damm... Which was your registar?? Didn't you get emails from them??

My registrar starts sending me "reminder" emails about 90 days before expiration, and sends them every 15 days or so.. It's so redunant that it's almost annoying, but I like it.

No need to bother with that if you have registar which protect your domain one year after expiration.

Good thing to do is keep all your expiration dates organized in a spreadsheet. But even then you can forget sometimes if you had an old e-mail address on the admin reg you forgot to update.

All my other domains are with directnic or godaddy and the email reminders always come in and there is never a problem.

CategorizedCunt was one of my older domains and I had it at http://www.allproregister.com/

Learned my lesson the hard way :(

oh shit that sucks

shitty deal bro. Thats a real nice site you lost :(

Same here, if i receive a mail i renew it immediately :thumbsup

my reg kicks ass and gives me reminders when under 90 days

I always get like 5 reminder emails if the domain isn't set for auto-renewal.

depending on how long ago it expired, you can still get it back by filing UDRP with Icann

one thing I know for sure !

registerfly sucks !

:mad:

If you own alot of domains, it can make domain management difficult.

Try to pay your most valuable domains way ahead, 10 years is ideal, if you can.

If you have thousands of domains expiring at the same time, cost can become a major factor.

No kidding. :(

Good advice!

damn that sucks man, you should have gotten a notice...

I just set mine to auto-renew

that sucks :/ hit me up when you get a moment.

sucks, site looks good

thanks for the tip :)

I just renewed all of my domains few days ago :)

you should always check...

that sucks. i've never lost a domain that way but did once when the registars website didn't work and i couldn't contact them.

anyways, i doubt if anyone picks it up it will have *that* much traffic. there is a 30 day period in which the website would of been unreachable before it expires to the point where you can no longer simply renew.

I have the exp dates in my outlook calnedar, so reminders pop up.

Thats not a bad advice :)
