My question to you is: Does your method change all expiration dates to the exact same date? NO
That is what some of my large clients are looking for. Again, you do not have to use this feature if you don't see any reason for it. I myself, and 1 large customer that we have has already said to call when it is available as they would like all their domains to expire on one date. That is their business why, but I know from discussing it with them why. Some people don't see it that way and that is fine, don't use it. But some people see a peace of mind to it and want to use the feature if it is ever available... -- Mike Allen, 4CheapDomains.Net [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.4CheapDomains.Net (812) 275-8425 - Office (815) 364-1278 - Fax ----- Original Message ----- From: "Russell Griechen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Mike Allen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "discuss-list" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, August 17, 2003 3:57 AM Subject: Re: Moving renewal dates... > Mike Allen wrote: > > But we are wanting the option as Swerve responded to have ALL the > expiration > > dates exactly the same on "All" the domains owned by one customer. > This > > helps with tracking etc on the business and management side to help > them > > make sure nothing accidentally doesn't get renewed or keeps them from > making > > payments several times a year on upcoming expiring domains. > > At first blush it would seem that simply renewing all domains would be > more costly and not cost effective. > However the cost of renewing for 1yr plus the cost of the mm dd to get > all to expire on the same date would be exactly the same as renewing all > the domains. > > Question, > Is there a bulk renewal option?...I am just getting my ducks in a row to > become a reseller. > > Do resellers have the expirations tracked by the software so that > announcements of impending expirations come say 45 days before? > > /*comment > If that announcement could arrive...say 200 days before > expiration...then a statement could be issued to those clients who have > requested that kind of service that would allow them to renew all > domains that expire within the next 6 months. > Alternatively, the client that has hundreds of names could request to be > billed for the renewal for those domainnames that is to expire > quarterly, 2 months or even one month.
