We have one domain with them (which my Dad bought in 2000) and there were two other sites under the same account. One of the other domain owners recovered their domain access and changed the notification email to something other than the company inbox.
I will be moving the domain in great haste to a viable provider.
Does anyone know of a good way of monitoring this? I have experimented with monitoring the output of the "whois" command, but they are quite aggressive about blocking multiple connections from the same IP address. All I want is a way of discovering when my domains will expire which doesn't depend on receiving email from Melbourne IT or similar. I have scripts monitoring the zones I am responsible for via lookups to 8.8.8.8 (Google DNS). That allows me to quickly organise payment when it's forgotten (fast enough that many sites still have the entries in the cache by the time it's fixed). But won't cover me for the case that Piers experienced of finding out that a domain has expired but then being unable to immediately renew it. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
