$80 is what they charge to get a name out of redemption, so its fair to charge that to recover a domain after an equivalent amount of time, even if it only cost Tucows the registry fee + icann tax. IMO everyone should stop complaining about this. Tucows has the most fair and flexible system of any registrar. Enom/Bulkreg, Directi, NetSol, GoDaddy, et al either take the names away themselves or send them out for auction with little or no recourse for recovering the domains. If you or your customers don't like it, RENEW YOUR DOMAINS PRIOR TO EXPIRATION. You really haven't lost ANYTHING with the current setup. You can still get your domains back in the 11th hour, much to the chagrin of those winning the auctions. Not to mention the fact that they share revenue with you at every turn. No, I don't work for Tucows, I just think they've made the park pages/auction system pretty fair and deserve praise not complaints for it. _______________________________________________ domains-gen mailing list [email protected] http://discuss.tucows.com/mailman/listinfo/domains-gen
