have you used them? looks suspect.

Used them for years. They are great!

How many years - the domain appears to have only been developed in 2012?

FWIW they also appear to be breaking European law by not displaying their trading/registered offices address on their website.

Crazydomains.co.uk seems to be a non-registered trading name (ie it's not lodged with Companies House) for DreamScape Networks FZ-LLC. That company is apparently based in UAE?

>"auDA has found that accredited registrar Crazy Domains Pty Ltd has breached its obligations under the Registrar Agreement to comply with the .au Domain Name Suppliers’ Code of Practice and all applicable laws."

UK branch may be no better ...

Caveat emptor.

I think I have over 150 domains with Network Solutions and I stay with them only out of convenience. But each time I register a new domain name, I swear I am about to sign up for a bunch of crap that I don't need - their registration workflow is fraught with pitfalls and if you simply want to reserve a domain you must navigate a minefield to complete the transaction. Is there a domain registrar out there that simply…

I like gandi.net. Very clean UI, their motto is "no bullshit" and they live up to it in my experience.

If you send them an email demanding your account be canceled, CC companies will usually let you use that to dispute further charges until your account is actually canceled.

Could you use a bitcoin notary service (like http://www.proofofexistence.com/about ) and use this evidence to dispute a charge? It seems like this would be more efficient then sending a letter. Seems like this could be more reliable than an easily forged email.

That doesn't prove that they have received or read it though...

AT&T has recently tried to charge me a leasing fee for my U-verse router. I called in and explained to the person on the phone that I own the router, and referred him to my first months statement were it specifically states that I paid $160+ for the router. The man on the phone told me that their policy has changed, and they now charge leasing fees to everyone who does NOT own their own equipment. I explained to the…

What is it with telecoms? I have had issues like this too but in New Zealand. I actually beg them not to transfer me to their fault team in Manilla every time they decide its a fault I have. If I have to speak to Peachy, Pricilla or Daisy again I'll scream. I eventually found that all Telecoms here have their accounts departments within the country. So any issues I have I choose accounts to talk to. The locals have a…

Didn't see this tweet earlier, seems to be Netsol's primary public response:

https://twitter.com/netsolcares/status/425751251369095168

"We are working to get you opted out."

Holy shit, what a crazy response. "Working" to get him opted out? Like they are doing him some kind of a favor and putting in effort above and beyond just not defrauding him in the first place?

Here I collected prices for domains (only what I'm interested in). If you did that too, I'd be glad to see your spreadsheet. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Amel5Zz4w7aLdFl...

Look at http://www.crazydomains.co.uk/ , they only charge £2.67 per domain name, the cheapest I have seen.
