[QUOTE] That used to be true back in the day, at least for co.uk domains. My work had one for years before some registrar chased us up and said that clearly selling them for life was a mistake and not a viable business solution and really we should be paying annually, and would have to from that point onwards. We had to pay up or lose the domain.[/QUOTE] That's a bitch. Surely if the original agreement was that you registered it, they can't then change the conditions later? It's probably not worth chasing, but it sounds more their problem than yours. They sound like they grabbed the money in the early days then once everyone settled down, they had to think where their income was coming from. Analogy would be selling you a car then 5 years later telling you that actually you were hiring it and they wanted 100 quid a month for it. Bzzt. Kev
