Well I have a horror story to add as well:
We renewed the domain with NSI on February 28th - it was NOT on hold at that
point.
NSI accepted and cashed the check on Feb. 28, 2001 (we have the actual
cashed check
to prove it)
NSI placed the domain on hold in March9th and it was re-registered on March
15th by another
party. This was a domain/website we hosted since 1997. Calling NSI we were
told that
our renewal check was only for $35 but invoice called for $70 so that is why
they dropped
the domain. Reasoning with the NSI Drone that their invoice clearly says we
can renew the
domain for 1 to 10 years and nowhere the invoice would say you must renew
for 2 years or loose
the domain resulted in her hanging up on me.... but I got the reference
number before she hung
up ... calling about the same issue 2 days later, inquiring about the
original reference number...
suddently they had no trace of the ref. number either...
Really tempted to register nsihorrorstories.com!
