On the APlus net website your company endorses them. THis is my experience
Since they are into decepetive ripoff practices, are you?
I think a late fee that exceeds the annual rate of a domain name registration is immoral and flat out a legal method of extortion to Domain Holders. The following is an experience I had with domains. Aplus.net, which is charging 2300% their annual rate for a late fee. My Registar is NOT my host company. I have a different hosting company.
Domain Name: AMADEUSMAX.com
Registrar: ABACUS AMERICA, INC. DBA NAMES4EVER
Whois Server: whois. Names4ever.com
Referral URL: http://www.names4ever.com
This conversation took place from the conversation window I had come up. I went to renew my website DNS, thats the name service for a website. Basically buying your name, your.com. You can buy a.com for $5-$15 for a year, and buy other ones even cheaper, the.Biz or. Tv. Well mine came up in Dec 28th. I didn't realize this but wanted to correct it. This was on February 11th. So I went to www.names4ever.com, which is now http://domains. Aplus.net/. This is chat window came up, which is how you talk to customer service. I am visitor74269.
