news SCHOOLED! - School District Fails to Pay Domain Renewal

[Internet.Domains]

Los Angeles Unified School District, the second largest school district in the USA, forgot to pay the domain renewal...The blame?...An "accounting issue"....

"The site contains all district information and is used by the more than 700,000 students and 60,000 employees to access their information."

“Each year, LA Unified is required to renew registration of ‘lausd.net,’ providing an official web address for district websites and online services,” explained district public information officer Sam Gilstrap. “Due to an accounting issue, there was an unanticipated delay in the annual renewal, which temporarily affected access to websites and some services on Saturday and Sunday for some users.”

"For now, the “accounting issue” is solved and, according to the district, “All systems are currently functioning normally.”

This happens sometimes when credit card will fail to auto renew the domain !
But they still renewed the domain for 1 year wow! seems like $35/year is too much !!

Good catch!..One year!?..hahhaahaha.......Apparently the domain expires during summer break. A time when most school district employees take vacations.

sounds like a good argument for multi year registration.

Doesn't this give your site more authority as well?
