Letting a domain expire can be dangerous. There are registrars who let the domain go pretty quickly and it's bought by the unscrupulous (pornmongers and cheapie "search engines" mostly). I've got all my significant domains on auto renew at godaddy.com. I've always been happy with their service, and their rates are excellent. :-) bonni aka She Who Owns Far Too Many Domains
