For people who are considering them, I've got something new. Well probably not new but I just found it out myself how Register.com is a
SCAM.
I registered a .com with them a couple months ago at a bargain price of $3.95 (or so) and when I learned the renewal price for the next year was like $38 / year, I said to myself, woahh, what an idiot must I had been registering a name with them??!! The next thing I found myself doing is trying to get an auth code so I could transfer it to another registrar. And guess what. Unlike all (probably) other registrars that instantly sends you the transfer auth code upon request, they only promise they'd review your request in 7 days.
And they declined my request for the auth code. For the full story, please see
this post.
Now that it's a pain to transfer away, I want to leave it un-renewed, so I tried to find the option to turn off auto-renew but I couldn't. See this image:

Seems to me it's virtually impossible to turn off their auto-renew because there's no 'No' option and the 'Update' button is unclickable.
Does anybody know how I can turn the auto-renew off at Register.com?
