Another helpful notice encouraging me to "renew" a name with an
organization which is not the domain's current registration service
provider, or else the domain name might be lost (attached).
This time it's from an OpenSRS reseller, Supralink
<http://www.coolwhois.com/?d=supralink.net>
Has anyone else received one from them? The prices are in Canadian
dollars so perhaps it's targeted at Canadians only.
You'd think that when they compile their database from the whois
info, they'd at least drop the records where expiring domain is also
found in the reseller section of the whois results. :-)
The e-mail does use the word "transfer" to describe the transaction
on two occasions but doesn't make clear the distinction between
renewing and transfering, and warns of the the consequences of
failing to act in a way that seems to me to suggest that transfering
is the only way to keep the domain active. The web form refers only
to renewal, with no explanation about transfering the name.
Whoops. You can submit the web form without filling in the payment
information and get a success message. I wonder how that will turn
out.
