Riding on Expiring Domains: Are Registrars Abusing Owners' Rights?
Riding on Expiring Domains: Are Registrars Abusing Owners' Rights?: "The ICANN regulations for domain name registrars dictate a requirement for deletion and auto-renewal policies. However, if you've had a domain expire lately you may have noticed that your registrar has taken over your domain name's DNS and redirected YOUR domain to THEIR website. This is because of a clause in their Service Agreement that says you give them permission to do this. This permission statement is usually buried so you won't find the clause or the opt-out provisions that are provided."
