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 🙂
