* Domain Expiration Alert *I wrote them that the domain is lifetime - like they advertise on their IMHOSTED.COM website
The domain name (lisandi.com) is due to expire on 02/01/2008.
Please renew the domain at your earliest convenience to ensure the service continues uninterrupted. The domain might be subjected to suspension and cancellation if it is not renewed before the expiration date and we have no liability whatsoever with respect to any such cancellation.
---------
To renew your domain name, you must open a billing ticket with your web hosting provider notifying them to renew your domain name.
Once they process your request, an invoice will be generated and you will be required to log into the billing system to pay (MC/Visa/AMEX/PayPal). Once your payment is processed, your domain name will be renewed within 24 hrs.
All domain renewals are priced at $15/yr.
Should you have any questions, please contact your web host.

Hi Andreas,
What you received was an automatic notification from our registrar (which is sent to all customers when their domain names are due to expire). The charge mentioned in that mail is the normal domain registration/renewal charge that we charge our customers.
In your case, since you have a free domain as long as you continue hosting with us, we have renewed the domain "lisandi.com" for another one year (free of cost). Thank you.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any more questions.

As you can read here it always needs action by the customers again and again. What about their promisses - LIFETIME DOMAIN - Actually no one takes care from imhosted.com about that. If you pay your 15$ - perhaps you even need to tell them that you paid to much money and hopefully you get it back, I don't think, they will pay this money back automatically
- AS AT IMHOSTED ALL THOSE MONEY MAKING THINGS SEEM TO BE A MANUAL PROCESS ;-)

Hi
I actual opened two. d get again the same renewal notice ;-)
S I am actually absolutly right that you are trying to get MORE money from customers with your company practice in business. This isn't at all fair to customers and you really should change it. Especially if the renewal process is a manual process it is even much easier to change it as then you simply could direct all lifetime domains to you! And you do the rest without and necessary contact to any customer.
Am I right.
Andi

Imhosted answered and called for customer actions:This thing is pretty annoying Dijo as it is coming every year multiple times and I already wrote lots of mails before. Please simply insert another field into your database (lifetime free customerdomain payed by imhosted) and hook it up to the payment department. Then no annoying mails will be send anymore.

The way you are doing it is to get customers afraid in loosing their domain and then they pay even they don't have to - this is NOT good business practice at all!
Cheers

The problem is that domain renewal is a manual process. We handle domain renewals only if the customer contacts us for the same. So, when you receive this notification, please open a ticket to us and we will renew your domain name free of cost as long as you continue hosting with us. Thank you.
