And, they correctly applied my "automatic renewal" to NOT pre-emptively renew now, but say it will happen on the anniversary so I don't lose any of the last day(s) value. Joker was recommended to me by another techie. Its German. I was extremely disappointed google walked away from the domain game, because their interface was simple, logical and ironclad. I do not see how they possibly had costs in this which were not exceeded by the profits, and "click here" benefits for GCP and related product.

    I've been using joker for nearly twenty years and it has always just worked. I'm probably misunderstanding you, but when you renew a domain you get an extra year (or whatever) measured from the expiry date, not measured from the renewal date. Renewing early doesn't lose you anything (except a bit of cash flow). This is true for .com and .uk anyway.

      Other companies I have used applied the cash at the date renewed and changed the annual expiry date to the payment date.
