SnapNames Question

[Duke]

As I understand it, after Snapnames catches a name for you, they charge an additional $39 each year when the name comes up for renewal. If someone moves the name to their own registrar, how does Snapnames force the buyer to keep paying them that $39 a year? Also, if you pay them the $39 does that include renewal for another year or is that just an extra fee to them above the cost of renewing registration. I can't find the answers to these questions anywhere on their web site.

That doesn't sound right. I think you pay $39 to RENEW your SnapBack subscription... not to renew the domain after your SnapBack has expired... Your SnapBack expires automatically when it has been sucessfully used. So, if you have a lot of SnapBacks that don't get used during their year of life, they can be RENEWED at a lower cost.

Unless I'm mistaken, that's what I've always assumed. You pay the registrar that regged it for you for renewal unless you transferred it beforehand.

Yes, $39 to renew the Snap only if it has been unsuccessful and you want to keep it going after the 1st year. Name snapped is renewed with the registrar not Snapnames.

Thanks guys - that would make much more sense and corrects some erroneous information I previously received.
