Where do I pay for renewal of my domain-name?

Hi

I registered an account here at discount asp. At the same time I also choosed a domain-name (asdhjdsf.com for example). Soon it is time to renew this domain-name and pay for another year..at least.

I'm a bit confused because I thought I was going to pay this to discount.asp but last week I recieved a letter from some "Domain Regestry Of America" and they want me to pay to them. I find it hard to understand if it is really an invoice they have sent or if it is just a "invitation" to move my domain to them.

Personally I want everything (account and domain) to be handeled by discount.asp but perhaps this is not the case.

The bottom line is that I dont know if I should pay the bill or not. Hard for you to say perhaps [:I], but if you have any idea about this please let me know.

What you received is a scam (they say marketing appeal, I say scam) to get you to change your domain name registrar.

I received the same appeal and was going to post a warning here but didn't get it done.

I'm sure you will get a definitive answer from DASP, but if I remember correctly they took care of renewing the domain automatically and put it on my quarterly statement.

 

Great

Thanks for your answers, Scott and dasp.

I suspected that this was a "scam" [] but I wasn't sure. They had written the letter in a way that made me unsure, playing with words...like spammers, "scammers" usually do and since my language is Swedish, not English, a letter like that is a bit hard for me to understand properly.

Why not hide account registration info from outsiders? A whois lookup does not have to show my personal registration info..it could just as well show contact info to discount.asp. Registration-info hiding would be a great feature, at least for me. I don't want strangers to be able to send me real letters. This way they can reach my private mailbox outside my house. Maybe that sounds strange [] but in my opinion the Internet does contain more than a few nutcases.
