I just found out a client (who registered their own domain name) neglected to renew it at the end of the term…

My hope was that it was in time to retrieve it out of what I call domain purgatory — otherwise known as Redemption Period — for a few hundred bucks. Unfortunately they were too late for that one too.

Now it seems that some Chinese company hailing from the Bahamas has squatted it. It will be interesting to see how much they want to charge them to get it back. First selling us all lead-laden toys — and now this? Geez.

The moral of the story. Do not let that domain expire! If you want to keep it, put it on auto-renew or something. And it wouldn’t hurt to buy American made products — but that’s another post for another blog.

I’m off to check my registrations ASAP!
