[thelist] domains and easyspace

[A Maynes]

You don't have to pay them to move out just et them to detag and off you
go!  ES has an admin panel where you can do this yourself.

Another example of theft by technology!  Easy Space and the likes should
be boycotted, or left for the home user pretending to be a webdeveloper!

Letting them expire is up to the customer, and I dont think there is any
legal ramifications for doing that ( I am not a lawyer so dont quote me
on that),  I had a similar problem with a company who was holding a
friends domain name hostage, so I used DomainAlert from GoDaddy and paid
the fee and we put his domain on the watch list, and he let it expire,
it took like 30 days (standard redemption period) for the domain to
release the domain after expire and as soon as it became available we
got it, also during the redemption period the domain is not active, and
the domain company could put the domain up for sale for itsself, however
I think that would be considered bad business pratice by most.  Now this
soution is NOT CHEAP the DomainAlert product costs money, and any time
you allow the domain to go there is a chance that someone is watching it
as well, especially if its a highly sought after domain like cars.com or
something generic like that.
