Avoid waking up to porn: Renew your domain registration before expiration

Quote:Let your registration lapse, and your site could suddenly be taken over by links to porn - and there's little you can do about it...

Imagine sitting down at your computer on Monday, heading to your company's website and finding nothing but a page of lurid links to pornographic websites.

You write an email to find out what is going on, but it fails to send. In fact, you can't access email at all. Someone calls the people you originally bought the internet address from. They ring back soon afterwards and tell you, unfortunately, there's nothing they can do, and you are unlikely to get your name back for at least two years - if ever. Meanwhile, you are being called by customers, clients and friends, all of whom want to know why they are being directed to "sexy live cam action"...
