failure renewing domain

HomerJ · Apr 9, 2009

Hi,

has anyone ever experienced this? i'm trying to renew a .org and has failed three times straight. the domain is just expired, but i've never had a problem reviving expired domains before the pending delete period before

Domain Renewal XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.ORG

Failed to renew domain in registry.

Invalid response format from registry. Wrong parameter:Connection refused FAIL 8.02

Total Amount Credited back to your account: $8.02

Thank you again for your order.

I would call them seeing their email support takes forever. I have had no problem in the past renewing a domain that is set to delete after it has expired. The only thing that comes to mind is the tasting that is not allowed anymore. Could this have something to do with the way their system is set up?

only if it was the .org registry, because i renewed a batch of domains and this was the only one that failed, however it was also the only .org

just tried again now, and looks like it was successful this time so that is probably the explanation
