Dont try and win something

Dont try and win something from Luckysurf as the only thing you are likely to get from joining up with them is spam. I (stupidly) joined up a long time ago using a unique email address so that I could track it, and have now started getting spam to that address – 5 in the last couple of days, so they are giving email address’s out to third partys and I *NEVER* tick the box to let them do that!

Register.com, the sneaky domain register

Register.com, the sneaky domain register has been caught out! They had made a “auto-renew” option for domain names and then signed people up to use it, apparently without them agreeing to it. This meant that people were getting their domains renewed, often at a higher price than somewhere else. They’ve had to stop now though as the amount of chargebacks that have occured due to people disputing the charges have meant its getting expensive for them 🙂
