That's right. I did this once with about 20 domains. A year later when it was time to transfer them, it took days and several threats to get them to send me my EPP code. They try to stall you so you have to pay the inflated price.Oh they sure offer that but it is fucking pain in ass to cancel the hosting account they attach to it. And if you dont cancel it, they charge you 10 bucks a month for it.
This may help some people. Netfirms are giving away .com domain names for 4.95 only.
You know anyone that actually paid for a domain over 100 dollars?
You know what porn.com really sold for don't you?
