Hi Jeff, Do you mean that there's a delay between when you're recorded as having paid up and when everything is correct throughout the DNS system? Yes, there is. Your domain expired, you corrected the problem, but then there was an unexpected (by you) delay before the interloping name resolution was gone? If you meant something else, I'd like to hear a better description of the problem. If not... well of course: that's how the DNS works. There's propagation delay imposed by TTLs and refresh intervals before old data is discarded. There are a handful of scenarios (e.g. old-school browser pinning) where stale data can persist for months. Don't let the domain expire before you renew it. Really don't.
