[QUOTE="katherine, post: 2203896, member: 63835"] In the "good old days", before registrars started auctioning expired domains, expired domains just were allowed into redemption, then deleted and snapped. Of course, the disadvantages are that a. the registrars are not making any money on a deleted domain that could otherwise have market value b. it is expensive for the registrant to redeem a domain that is in registry redemption status. I think that the biggest issue from an ethical POV, is that registrars are allowed to sell YOUR domains in the first place. They have an incentive that you lose your domain names. A renewal is just a few $ in their pockets. An aftermarket sale =$$$$$$ [/QUOTE]
