Network Solutions - Reinstatement Fee
 

So my domain expired Friday (01/27/12), and I was aware, but I figured I had a grace period, and I was waiting for some paypal.

Today (01/31/12) I log in to renew and I see one year now is $37.99 and they added a $25.00 Reinstatement Fee :mad:

I guess we're all hurting for cash, and this will keep people on their toes with keeping up with their renewals, and this grace period comes with a price :1orglaugh

Try Namecheap or Internet.bs, you will probably be much happier with either one of them.

Well known that NS will rape you for everything they can, they have no shame

yeah they started doing that a couple of years ago. seems they keep pushing the limits of what people will take.

they bill $38/year now a days?! :error

namecheap has no extra fees in case you miss a renewal.

Other registrars easily charge a $250 reinstatement fee. Not because it requires all that more effort, but because they can.

NS's fee is different in that they charge this before redemption.

People still use NS as a registrar?

Correwct, there was always a grace period while still under your name.

This happened to me within 4 days :321GFY

change registrars

another netsol success story

I hate netsol.

Others do it too, just usually not immediately after expiration. GoDaddy doesn't wait until redemption, only until 19 days after to charge a fee ($80 I think?).

Ask NetSol to waive the fee or you'll transfer all your domains out. Then transfer it all out anyway.

good point. most do it before redemption since they try and sell of the domains first but give a grace period from 18-30 days. NS gives none before charging the 25 and charges 160 I believe after 30 days.
