Here is something to be aware of – it’s not illegal but could be seen as unethical…..your call on this one…

I received a letter in the mail (real mail not email) about renewal of one of my domains. I won’t say the company name but it started off like this….

“As a courtesy to domain name holders we are sending you this notification of the domain name registration that is due to expire in the next few months. When you switch today you can take advantage of our best savings.”

Now here is a couple of points:

1. They are sending this at least 3 months ahead of when its needed- (they are getting ahead of the company you have your domain name with currently)

2. A busy small business owner, may miss the text about switching and just pay the bill.

3. Its priced in AUS Dollars, coming from a US based company, and as a comparison, to renew a .com domain would be about  $12.00 (AUS) – The best “savings” choice was $45.00 (AUS)

Here is what the letter looks like:

A search  for “Domain Renewal Group”- will tell more about what they doing….

Tell as many others, who have domains about this.
