I agree! It always boggles my mind how people and companies can forget to renew their domain names when you receive so many email reminders now a days.

It is quite easy, the original owner/ responsible PoC left long ago, or the email goes to an barely read inbox/ group or bounces completely. If a task only recurs less frequently like say every 3-5 years, it is more likely to be forgotten it is the same whether it is individual or companies.

      Ah, thanks (both of you). Yeah, I'd seen that before, recognise it now that you mention it. But it had completely slipped my mind, so I really couldn't fathom what skin colour had to do with this.

  If that person leaves or the notifications are ignored that would happen with any method that involves any interaction whatsoever. At a certain point someone has to take some amount of responsibility for this, and if they don't it's going to fail _eventually_.

    True, there is onus is on the organization to setup processes to handle all this. However it is not all that surprising these things gets missed , like i said if the process is not repeated frequent enough any organization memory is likely to loose track of it . no different from human memory really.

My card expired, plenty of renewal reminders but I knew it was on auto-renew so ignored them as usual. Domain stopped resolving. Thankfully nowadays you can recover, in the past it meant you'd lost the domain for good. This is one of those situations where too many warnings just causes users to ignore things. The only warning I needed - your card expired - was either missing or hidden in the morass of "ordinary" warnings. It happens.
