Customer in ‘letter’ shock!
A number of our customers have contacted us recently after receiving confusing ‘snail mail’ from a company calling themselves “Domain Renewal Group”. We wanted to share their experience with you.
If you receive any correspondence then please pay attention to the small print otherwise you might be in for a shock. A quick google of the name “Domain Renewal Group” may also provide you with the views of more customers.
Using data publically available in WHOIS services this company “Domain Renewal Group” post out hard copy notifications to customers which they call, ‘Domain Name Expiration Notices’. When read carefully these are actually worded as a “suggestion” that you transfer the Domain away from your current Registrar to this new company.

Google rank .CO alongside .com and .org
With over 440,000 .CO domains registered in more than 182 countries, the global launch has been one of the most successful in recent history.
Now Google has placed .CO alongside generic top-level domains like .com, .net or .org by allowing geotargeting of .CO within Webmaster tools. This gives you the option to target your .CO content to the specific countries where your customers operate.
Altering Google’s Geographic targeting enables you to deliver content on your .CO domain to specific countries of your choice – so for example, you may choose to only target the UK or top English speaking countries. To help, we’ve created a step by step Knowledge Base Article:
