Of course you may have paid for services there that you won't get a refund for, so indeed you need to read the fine prints at the beginning... | |

| Oct 9, 2010 at 17:53 | comment | added | Lèse majesté | I've yet to encounter a webhost that forced you to register the domain from them or a registrar that forced you to host with them. There may be hosting deals that provide a free domain or domain registrations that provide free parking, but they're not fixed contracts. Also, I believe most registrars offer an X month grace period for the current domain owner to renew, so they do have precedence over backorder customers. | |
