Greetings Folks! Background: My email hosting is by 1and1.co.uk (and many thanks to Bev for suggesting 1and1 last September -- the service has been very good).
I created the domain name "wlandres.net" for this purpose, and that domain is registered with 1and1.
I have just received a letter from "Domain Renewal Group, Domain Name Renewal Service", telling me:
"As a courtesey to domain name holders, we are sending you this reminder that your domain name registration is due to expire in the next few months [September, in fact ... ]. When you switch today to the Domain Renewal Group, you can take advantage of our best savings. Your registration for wlandres.net will expire on September 5, 2011. Act today!"
This, on the face of it, looks like a blatant attempt to poach my registration with 1and1 from 1and1. Do other people get this sort of ***t?
Yes, I get the occasional one, I *think* it's from the same people. I have a dozen or so domains registered for various reasons.
