$14.95 renewal fee for .infos

Beware of the very high renewal fee of $14.95 for .infos according to their price page at http://dotster.com/domains/tlds/

I posted the following in this thread as a way to get around their high renewal fees. MyDomain has a .info renewal fee of just $.99:

Another word to the wise: Keep in mind that if you register a domain with Dotster you can always move them into an account with MyDomain right away. You can move all of the domains at once and the move is instantaneous. The good thing about this is you can take advantage of the free DNS management stuff at MyDomain, and if you forget to transfer the domains before they expire they'll only renew at $8.50 instead of the standard Dotster rate of $14.95.

Yeah, that transfer trick works great!
