Hi everybody. If you registered domains at Domain.com and/or one of its sister companies (NetFirms, Dotster and MyDomain) or bought a domain that was registered in one of these registrars and was pushed to you- you need to read this.
1. Pushes between accounts don't change owner details. So if you're an old owner, you'll get renewal notices and if you're a new owner you have to change the e-mail address and the rest of the details manually. You might lose your domain/domains otherwise because you won't know about renewals. I started receiving renewal notices for domains I used to own and from a quick check, I'll get a lot more notices soon. So please edit the contact details if you bought a domain that was registered in one of these registrars.
2. New accounts are automatically set up with a hosting account that's scheduled to renew. If you have a payment method in the system you'll be charged for hosting if you don't change it. Make sure you downgrade your account to a 'Parking account'. @dotbay gave these instructions a few months ago so I'm copypasting them (thanks, dotbay):

I'm tagging some members that I sold domains to or that I think are using these registrars. If I tagged you by mistake, my apology. Please consider tagging other members who you know are using these registrars so everybody will know about these issues. Also, you should probably notify any people you sold domains to about these matters. Thanks.

- To deactivate your hosting account you must log in and go to Account -> Account renewal. Select “Downgrade to Domain Parking Account”. Then click change status. You will see a popup window with a 1800 number. close it. Then, click on downgrade account. Select a reason then click Downgrade again
