Dynadot no longer allows tasting

Not only are they not allowing tasting, but names cannot be returned at all.

"You are receiving this email because you have grace deleted a new domain before, or because you are a bulk customer.

Recently ICANN changed the rules for grace deletions of new domains. For every domain registered, Dynadot pays a $0.20 fee to ICANN. (This fee is included in the price you pay to us.) Previously, this fee was refunded to us if the domain was grace deleted in the 5 day window. However, ICANN will now charge the fee even if the domain is deleted.

Effective immediately Dynadot can no longer offer grace deletions. Any new domain registrations must be kept for the full year. Domains registered July 4 or earlier can still be grace deleted for free."

LOL, I just received the email that they're providing grace deletions for a fee. Still kinda sucks though.

that's what was supposedly known as tasting, as i assume you would already know. The resgitrars need to earn too you know. they arent hosting a charity here. In fact its good that the fee has been imposed. It will bring about better registrations and lesser tasting.

Speaking of which, I hate that many places keep your refunds as credit and don't refund back to your CC or PayPal.

Glad to see they brought them back. A .20 cent fee isn't bad and like krossat said - maybe it will cause for less people to taste

it they do not allow tasting then they will lose a lot of customers.

And how much do you think tasting accounts for Dynadot's financial success?

Surprisingly, even I don't like it.
