Iregistrations Enom reseller?

[dgridley]

I just discovered that all the domains (4) that I have registered thru iregistrations.com also have the .info version of the domains registered in my name. When I attempt to access them thru iregistrations, I get: There has been an error processing your request. Domain name was not registered through iRegistrations.com.

How do I access these and will I be charged a renewal fee?

You ought to do a random whois on some of your doamins to make sure this hasn't happened to you.. otherwise if the names are set for auto-renew, you'll end up paying for info domains you never regged (or wanted).

If that's your only concern, and the domains are not in your enom account, then I wouldn't worry about it. enom will renew and charge you only for those domains in your account, whether or not they bear your whois info.

Think about it. If its possible for enom to renew domains on the basis of whois info, then anyone can take a soon-to-expire name in enom, change whois to yours, and trick enom into charging your account.

What I'm worried about is, if they aren't in my Enom account, where are they? iregistrations? If they're situated somewhere with an automatic renewal policy and my cc info, that's all they need.... so I'm kinda warning everyone to check to see the same hasn't happened to them.

Ok, I went into My Account on Enom this morning and it showed 0 domains in my account.. but I entered w3md.info in the domain search box and the domain does indeed appear in my account under the Redemption category with a Status of "Extended RGP" and an Expired (?) Date of 9/28/2005 (?)! Hm, anyone know what Extended RGP means?

In any case, I'm guessing iregistrations did push them to my account but I'm still apparently unable to access them as there's no option to interact with these domains.

EDIT: OK, found RGP:

RGP stands for Redemption Grace Period. The Redemption Grace Period is a thirty (30) day period that begins after a registrar requests that the registry delete a domain name. The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) has required that registries implement this facility to allow the original registrants (domain name holders) to redeem a deleted name.

The reason for the introduction of the RGP process is to provide additional time to catch erroneous deletions before the name is made available for re-registration.

When a name enters RGP, it is removed from the zone file (if it was originally in the zone file). As a result, any Internet services served by the domain name will be disabled (e.g. e-mail or a Web site). The registrant must act IMMEDIATELY if he or she wants to keep the name.


So looks like the names are Pending Delete, even tho the WhoIs lists them as Active.. confusing. In any case, looks like I won't be charged for them (fingers crossed).
