Avoid "Register.com" for your blog -- bunch of CROOKS!

Bunch of CROOKS!!!

When I first came up with the idea of doing a sailing blog for newer sailors, I got a domain name. I ultimately decided I didn't like it, and didn't use it. Imagine my surprise this morning to get this email:

Thing is, I NEVER AUTHORIZED PAYMENT. They just decided on their own to JUST TAKE MY MONEY! Unfortunately for them I lost that card and it was replaced by a card with a new number, so it didn't go through.

And as for the "Renewal Private Domain Safe?" I didn't buy that the FIRST time -- they just tacked it on as icing on the (stolen) cake!

I urge people to avoid "Register.com" -- apparently they don't know how to make a profit honestly. Just ... WOW.

Here's the email:
