How does the Moniker domain tasting work?

[JasMate]

I want to taste a few domains but am unsure how the process works, do I need to email moniker after 3 or 4 days? What if they don't respond to the email. I don't want to be stung with the reg fee.

I have never tried it but seems to be it is automatic deletion (however I am not 100% sure) Just according to this reading, it sounds it is automatic: Best will be to email them to make sure.
Good luck

What is the 4 day grace period

For a limited time, Moniker will be allowing customers to delete .com, .net, .info, .org, .biz, .us and .mobi names registered within 96 hours of their creation date. Customers will be credited back the original registration fee to their Moniker Accounts and charged a small transaction fee during this time frame for all names successfully deleted. Please note there will be no refunds only credits back to your Moniker account. This will allow customers to correct domain registration mistakes and / or delete .com and .net domains that are not desired during this time frame for a fraction of the original registration fee.

To complete this process, you will be shown the number of domains that are in the "4 Day Grace Period" that qualify to be deleted and credited back to your account only (as per our service agreement, there are no refunds) and can be used for other shopping cart products that we offer. When you go to this view in your domain manager, you will see the number of hours left from the creation date for each of the domains registered. If a domain does not show up in this view, it does not qualify and the System Message header at the top of the web page will also inform you of the status of your requests at all times. You will be able to de-select and select any domains in this view then hit the Delete Tab just above the Delete Hours column. When domains are deleted successfully, your account will be credited the registration fee then charged the deletion fee for each domain successfully deleted. Please note that .com, .net, .info, .org, .biz, .us and .mobi names are the only domains that qualify for this program.

Please note that you may not be able to delete domains while the Registry or the Registrar are performing scheduled or unscheduled maintenance. Moniker will not be responsible for any domain names not deleted during the 4 Day Grace Period due to Registry or Registrar outages. If you experience any problems attempting to delete your domains during this period, please contact us via [email protected] and by calling our offices during normal business hours toll free - (800)841-7686 or Local / Long Distance - 954-984-8445.

No, there is an option for you to delete the selected domains in your dn list.

Domain(s) will be deleted immediately and the cost will be sent back to your moniker account balance within minutes. There will be a $0.25 automaticlly deducted from your reg fee for each deletion.

Hope this helps.

At your "My domains" page you should see "Domain within the redemption period"

Go there and you will see them listed.

Select those which you wish to delete, and go to the rightmost tab (delete). Hope it helped... Note, that it only is available for gTLDs (com/net/org/info/biz/etc)

It's pretty sweet actually. When I first signed up at Moniker, it wasn't available until I called them to ask for 'special pricing'. As Peaches said, you can't delete .mobi, .us etc.
