Its mine I paid for it. I dont see any reason why they think they have the right make money off of some I paid for. If they want to do this, there should be a revenue sharing arrangement, that is paid to the rightful domain owner, until an index page is placed on it and it has propagated. That domain belongs to me once I have paid for it.

Several registrars now have very strong conflicting interests as they are owned by domain development companies. Another group is now joining the party, hosting companies. If I found out any of my web hosts were involved in this, I would shut down the account and move elsewhere. Read my other blog posts I linked to.

Profit margins on domain names are very slim. After sending 3 emails to a customer notifying them about their domain about to expire and after encouraging customers to opt for auto-renew, what do you expect domain registrars to do? We keep client expired domains for 30 days beyond the expiration date. After that, the domain is back on the market. During the 30 day window, the domain gets redirected to a landing page and yes that landing page has AdSense ads. What’s the big deal?
