Yep, similarly here. eNom successfully "extorted" $300 from me due to it. My fault ultimately in the end though. But it was a stressful couple days, and eNom and Google partnership soured my view of both of them. I no longer do business with eNom.
- reflectiv 7y agoWhat happened, if I may ask? I use both enom and google...so, I am curious...
- RileyJames 7y agoJust guessing, but the "extortion" fee's are likely due to renewing the domain after it has 'expired', during one of the last chance renewal phases. https://help.enom.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003360647-Renew-Expired-Domains-During-Reactivation-Period https://help.enom.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003360647-Renew-E... https://www.enom.com/kb/kb/kb_1487-last-chance-renew.htm https://www.enom.com/kb/kb/kb_1487-last-chance-renew.htm There is a whole process via which domains expire, they do not simply become available to register upon their 'expiry' date.

- ryanlol 7y ago>”extortion” Why the scare quotes?
- kube-system 7y agoThe person you're replying to is quoting another comment above and I am guessing they might not agree with the legal connotation the word carriers.
- ryanlol 7y agoI guess, it does fit the common dictionary definitions though. Other companies in the space do not charge such fees.
- xemoka 7y agoBecause it’s as exactly as RileyJames said above. It was ultimately my own doing but was masked by the strange relationship eNom has/had with Google. It felt like extortion, but wasn’t in reality, just business practices that don’t put the customer first.
- duxup 7y agoThat's a bummer, they just moved it to an enom account (understandable) and charged me the usual renewal fee.
