Alright, so a long time ago when i first started graphics & stuff like that. My friends and I decided to build our own site. So we bought a DOMAIN and HOSTING. For the domain, as usual, you gotta pay yearly. And for the hosting, we paid monthly. So... This is one of those pay for both sites and you dont get to control the domain, but they do. I was really dumb back then i guess you can say. I had a very unique name i think in my opinion called 'Conceptual-Creations.net'. Well anyways, about 6 months came up, and i didnt pay for the last month and decided to close it down. Then after about a month, now keep thinking, its only been about 7 months since i bought the domain. I started getting into all these site like talkfreelance, sitepoint, yaxay, etc... So i decided that it'd be cool to sell my domain. But guess what, after ONLY 7 months, i didnt have any access to my domain. But i was the one who PAID for the domain, not the company owner. And i read the TOS/RULES and it didnt say anything about they keep everything in their own hands, we are the ones who decides what happens to those domains i would say since we paid for them. Then, he never replied to my email after i sent him a request to get it back! Finally, a month later (now this is about 8-9 months), they finally sent me MAIL (not email) with the actuall domain company thing, and it was going to charge me $46 for my domain back.... Sounds very rediculous to me. After its been only 9 months at the max, and i paid for a whole YEAR (12 months). So i should still have 3 months of free domain untill i have to pay again... What do you guys/girls think about this? I really liked that domain & name as well too. Plus i coulda sold it for some good cash if it was a .com
