any of you get those letters in the mail telling you to renew your domain name with them or you'll loose it? I trashed mine so I don't have the company name off hand. I just remember an american flag behind their logo.

Verisign is notorious for doing that - also for charging excessive prices.

But if you get a notice from WDRP (wdrp@name-services.com) asking to validate your whois info, it's valid.
According to the ICANN rules, your whois info has to be validated annually. If they can't contact you/you don't confirm the whois, your registration can be canceled.

Had a couple of clients loose their domains because they had old, no longer used, email address in the whois so their info couldn't be validated. Recovered one of the domains, but lost the other one.


Lead me not into temptation... I know the short cut, follow me.
