LOL ==> in any case there's something wrong with the connection with .xyz-registry. (also .site and .website) for the moment. Also for registrations.
I had trouble renewing also (but not like above).
They don't renew and it is stated "problem", although payment has been done.
They hope it's resolved quickly, they write.
As investors we should know better but it's the small business that starts up on one of these new extensions then a year later gets hit with this nonsense I feel sorry for.
