These issues are TuCow'isms and that is exactly why we are discussing them here.
.UK domains function backwards as compared to the majority of domain TLDs. Most domains expire unless renewed, UK domains renew unless expired. Most other TLDs can be renewed any day prior to expiry; UK domains can not. Our customers have come to expect certain behaviors with respect to renewals. We hope that these TuCow'isms can help to "mask" the peculiarity of UK domains and allow them to approach renewals of UK domains with the same mindset as renewals of the domains within their portfolio. -- John Keegan [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://RackShare.com > From: "Chris Pugh" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Organization: Xeotech > Reply-To: "Chris Pugh" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: Mon, 24 Mar 2003 23:01:54 -0000 > To: "R.
