Wow, eNomCentral really sucks as a domain registrar!

[taktikz]

I just lost 5 very important domain names due to not receiving their renewal email. Worst of all, they apparently auctioned it off 3 weeks after it expired. I usually don't get this upset over these things, but 3 weeks to auction? Really?!

I'm never keeping a domain name with eNomCentral again!

This is not a very good advertisement for somebody promoting a domain management spreadsheet. You lost 5 names because you didn't keep track and renew them. I wouldn't rely on renewal emails for this sort of thing, things can happen with those.

It's not even the email issue. It's the fact I have never had a registrar sell my domain name in under a month.

Seems taktiks has taken his link to his spreadsheet off-line.

It's still working. PM me if you are having issues with it still.

Things like that are bound to happen when you rely on the E-mail reminders...
Always maintain your own list.

3 weeks ? It's more like 6 weeks normally, and you should still be able to redeem then even after the auction is over. There is a 42-day lockdown on Enom domains.

So which registrar are you going to use ? The other large registrars also auction their expiring domains...

PS: this thread is ironic, you really need to take your own medicine

PM'd you.

 

[biggie]

couldn't have been that important, if you weren't keeping up with them

enom is very reliable registrar

perhaps your renewal emails were going to 'junk mail'

additionally, enomcentral is for 'holding' domains that were won in auction, if you don't have enom reseller account id, synched with namejet.

imo....

I should have clarified. There was a credit card issue which is why the auto-renew did not go through. Not only did they not contact me about it, but they sold it in less than a month.
Here's my situation:
Domain1.com - exp date 3/22/2014
Domain2.com - exp date 3/22/2014
Domain3.com - exp date 3/22/2014
Transferred out of my account: 4/26/2014 (confirmed with their rep)

Which means the auction took place at least several days before transferring to another user.

Do you think this is fair? I have never seen a registrar give away your domain in under a month!

Why haven't you tried to pay the redemption fee to retrieve these domains, like at least 3 people have been suggesting you do? What do eNom say to you when you ask to pay their redemption fee to retrieve these domains?

Also. As somebody else pointed out. You obviously weren't paying attention to your own DNManagement.xls spreadsheet. Or maybe it failed, somehow.

PS: Thanks I got a copy of the spreadsheet from the link you provided, but I only just downloaded it. So no chance to look at it yet.

I made it pretty clear that I lost these domain names within 3 weeks of expiration. Even GoDaddy gives you a few weeks to renew a domain after expiration date. These guys just sold it at auction on NameJet literally <30 days from expiration date.

I use the spreadsheet to keep track of expenses, sales, expiration dates, but like I said the issue was a card issue which was being resolved.

P.S. Hope it is useful to you.

But you seem to have failed to understand the point we are making. Even though these domains are no longer in your account, you have up to circa 80 days after expiry to pay the redemption fee and recover these domains. At least in accordance with eNom's ToS.

They did not tell me this. If this is the case, then I have been defrauded by eNom.
Can you point me to where they state this?

See the 2nd post in this thread https://www.namepros.com/threads/namejet-after-pre-release.826869/, or try reading their ToS.

They didn't. You said it was removed from your account on the 26th, when it expired on the 22nd.

Well theoretically it was auctioned off several days before the 30 day period. The transfer must've also taken a day or two.

 

[Name Trader]

The transfer is impossible for 42 days after the auction is complete. I'm beginning to think you have not understood a word we've said.

OK. I give up with this conversation. It's up to you.

 

[macdonjo]

I recently had some pretty bad experiences with them too. Would not recommend. NameJet is making them popular.

That's what I thought! All my domains I want to keep are auto-renew.
