Good evening, I want to tell a little sad story about registrars, domain names and freaks.
I once had a website, he had a domain name in the zone ru. I wanted to change the hosting provider, and at the same time to register a domain name in a human way - not through the hosting provider, but through a normal registrar, and then just the term of the domain registration came to an end. Well, I think, just, successfully matched.
In the morning on the day of the release of the domain I look - and he is already busy with someone. Well, I think my hoster automatically extended the domain, I write to the support, the answer comes: “The fact is that the domain name mastikhin.ru is not under our control and we cannot physically extend it”.
How so? Never before on this domain was the site, it was never registered by anyone. I look whois, and there the owner is
Centrohost . I go to the site, and there
it is ... Pay attention to the link "Buy this domain" in the upper right. So what to do, I write a letter in the form of something like the following: “Thank you for taking the domain, how much do you want for the return?” And I get the answer:
Good day!

These are the pies.
I understand that he is a fool and that these people did not commit anything wrongful, but from a human point of view it is a rare uebanism, and Ustinov Yuri is a fagot. Yes, and the line "For registration of the contract and the transfer of the domain, you can contact the registrar's managers at Centrohost at info@centrohost.ru." Centrohost does not paint and causes unpleasant thoughts - it seems they are engaged in (or in some way participate) industrial scale .
From this story we can make a single conclusion: never register a domain name through hosters - it's more expensive. Register through the official registrars, and follow the terms of the extension.
I would like to hear the views of the habrauda about such things, and, perhaps, any advice. I really do not want to overpay for my domain seven times.
