Tips for domain registration

• Auto renewal, using a credit card or debit card of some sort can make things easier… Until your credit card expires.
• Of course, if you manage a numer of domains under the same registrar it’s fine - you’ll notice next time you log in. Unless it’s that one domain you registered elsewhere for reasons unknown.
• Which isn’t such an issue really, you’ll get a reminder notice that your domain is about to expire… Unless the renewal notice goes to an old email address you rarely check.
• However, as soon as you notice that a domain has expired, you can quickly go to the registrar, log in and renew it. Unless you’ve forgotten the password.
• If you’ve forgotten the password, you can get a replacement emailed to you. Unless you had the email account deleted a year ago.
• Which means you have to ring the registrar, and then fax them some proof of identification. That’s the way it works with this particular registrar anyway.
• So then, you can re-register that domain. Unless (hypothetically) you didn’t register the domain under your own name. Now that would put you in a bit of a pickle.

You’d need to do something like ring your old ISP and somehow get your email account back. They’re only human, they’ll understand. Right?

Yes.

Unless you left them on less than amicable terms (for whatever reason) and you still owe them money.

Now, anyone who knows me would know that I’d never be so careless as to do all of the above. I’m just saying.
