Given the speed with which Gandi is circling down the drain I won't be surprised if they annul that renewal at some point later on.
- Macha 3y agoAren't domain registrations ultimately kept by the registry (e.g. Verisign for .com) not the registrar. If you transfer your domain, you don't forfeit far out expiry dates?
- CydeWeys 3y agoThey can't. The registration expiration date is managed at the registry (and they've already paid the registry for all of those years).
- r-spaghetti 3y agoBetter check this at the registry. I've noticed that this group of companies has a new policy regarding domain renewal: let the client pay at date X and update the registry just within hours before the domain expires. Paying 9 nine years in advance might just result in the obligation of this company to renew the domain 9 times for you, unless you move out of course.... Dark patterns is becoming the standard.
- CydeWeys 3y agoThis seems like it would be a violation of the registry's/ICANN's contract. Do you have more info on this?
