Beware: Fake Domain Name Renewal Notices
For some time now, a company called Domain Regsitry of America (or Domain Registry of Europe) has been writing to domain name owners “warning” them that their domain names are due to expire unless they are renewed. These letters are being sent to our customers as well of customers of other ISPs and hosting companies.
The letters are a con and an underhand attempt to take ownership of domain names unethically. The company has been the subject of legal challenges in the US/Canada (see here) and the FTC taken them to court.
Please be assured that these notices should be ignored - they are not legitmate and if they are completed there is a danger that you domain name will be transferred without you explicit consent, and excessive charges will become payable.
We always write to our customers when domains are due for renewal, so there is no need to worry about missing any renewal dates. If you are concerned about any correspondence you have received, please just give us a call and we’ll check it out for you.
