PAYB.TC domain-registration issues

[payb.tc]

first of all, many apologies to anyone inconvenienced by the current outage of http://payb.tc

about a week ago i decided to move the domain from godaddy to another registrar and while doing so found out that .tc domains have be renewed long before (like 6 months before) their expiry date.

as a consequence i've taken the easier road and sent godaddy more money to try to get it up again as fast as possible, but i've just called them again today and they say it will be at least another 3 days because of the country code involved.

i held off on announcing these issues because i wasn't sure if the domain was at risk of being sniped by someone else.

anyway, back soon.

So godaddy is turning a 6 month process into a 3 day process after you pay them a bit of money? You know that's called extortion, right? Unfortunately, it's fairly common with godaddy, because they suck big time. The number one complaint forum about them which was fairly successful shut down suddenly after being paid off by them to disappear. Shady shady shady.

well... it's back now, a little faster than they quoted.

A $50 bill is a great tool to rush things
