Attorney Protection of Your Domain Names

		Basic Facts about Renewal of Domain Names

		If you do not renew your domain name, it will become available for any other entity to register. In recent years, we have discovered a number of unscrupulous companies that look for registrations that lapse, and then register them. Then they try and sell the domain name back to the rightful owner for a premium. Be sure to mark your calendar well in advance of your renewal due date to avoid this problem. As a courtesy to our clients, we will docket the due dates for filing a domain name renewal.

		You do not have to renew your domain name with your current registrar. You can transfer your registration to a different registrar and renew your domain name at that time. As there is much competition in this business today, we recommend that you look at your options. There are a number of registrars that will register your domain name for as little as $15.00 (U.S.) per year.
