Actually, VeriSign is just using bad business practices to gain customers. Basically, they got many, many addresses on domain names (regardless of who they were registered with), and sent those addresses little cards saying that users needed to renew their domain names with (of course) VeriSign, and didn't make it clear that this was just a scam to get more money. Entropic - It's, of course, up to you, but I would most certainly recommend dropping VeriSign like a bad habit, and going with someone else. If you do decide to do this, might I suggest GoDaddy.com. The company name is a little strange, but they provide exactly the same thing that VeriSign provides at a third of the price. Plus, they are all fine, upstanding people. Aaron
