Holy shit... discovered I somehow missed a domain renewal yesterday and the new invoice they sent was $120, not the regular $20 yearly renewal cost.
Asked my actual web host about it because of some server modifications I had to quickly make (different registrar, different host) and they said the additional $100 was most likely due to expiration.
I then asked the registrar in a series of rapidly frustrating emails, they said "that's our new price."
WTF????? A $100 increase for domain registration and yearly renewal???? When dozens and dozens of other registrars and hosting companies charge around $20 a year???? Naturally I asked them how the hell they expect to stay in business!
Asked to talk to their highest manager, they then offered the next year for $20, then $120 next year, or, I could transfer to a new registrar. WhyTF would I stay with them????

- they can't keep it geez, just move away from that crap... and just to let you know there is a 30+60 days until a domain really expires...sted
- so if they want money after a day or a week etc. it's a scam.sted
- Once the domain expires and enters into the redemption period, you basically have to renew with the same registrar. Pay the money then move it somewhere cheapermonNom
- Not surprised they're charging $120 if they're a small outfit. Domains are a time suck. Even talking to you about this has probably eaten up all their profit.monNom
- i've seen so many of my domains up for sale when they got scooped after i let them expire, such a weird businessimbecile
