Each year, many of your fellow High Aspirations, Inc. clients receive domain name renewal notices from companies other than their registrar. This is not a new practice and there are many offenders.
These notices appear to be bills, but in reality are domain registrar transfer authorizations. These companies are trying to “steal” your domain name away from your current registrar and our control. Last year, I even received a few phone calls about expiring domains!
Please do not fall for these scams!
If you receive a renewal notice that you do not believe is from HAI or your current registrar, please contact us immediately.
Most of our clients have us handle their domain names which means that the only bill you would receive for domain name renewal would come from us. You might receive email notifications from the registrar, usually Go123Web, warning you that the domain will expire soon. If you handle your domain yourself, make sure you know who your registrar is and when to expect it to renew. If HAI handles your domain name, sit back and relax and don’t pay anyone but us. If you aren’t sure who should be billing you for your domain name(s), when they expire, or who the registrar is, just contact us and ask for a “domain inventory report.”
Remember, any questions or doubts, ask us before you pay anyone!
