Well, domain name expiration is a problem. If you pay attention though, no domain name will ever expire —under current DNS rules at least. My own domain name is in .fr, and if it expires I have a chance to renew it before someone else is allowed to take it. There's a few weeks of delay, but truly losing a .fr name requires the owner to be really negligent. I believe .com names are more easily lost, though.
