问HN:我的域名注册商(Hover)骗走了我3000美元。

4作者: shrinks996 天前原帖
我大约在六年前注册了域名 onlyfans.sexy,最初是出于玩笑,打算在上面发布粉丝的照片(网站和这篇文章中的所有内容都是适合工作场合的)。今年,我收到了电子邮件,通知我和往年一样,域名将在七天后自动续费,费用为38美元。我对此并没有多想,接下来的两封邮件也通知我域名将自动续费。 看起来我确实应该关注那两封邮件,因为在续费的三天和一天前的邮件中,价格从38美元变成了3000美元。毫无疑问,当我被收取3000美元(加税)时,我感到非常惊讶。 在联系了Hover的客户支持后,他们告诉我对此无能为力,并且他们有不退款政策,因为“Hover无法覆盖或逆转注册局设定的价格。包括续费在内的高级域名定价由注册局决定,他们可能会随时间调整这些价格。一旦续费处理完成,我们会立即被注册局收取该费用,而这些费用对我们来说是不可退款的。” 因此,根据Hover的说法,.sexy注册局(Uniregistry)会随意设定价格,最后一刻决定大幅提高续费成本,因为他们可以,而我和他们对此无能为力。这里有人经历过类似的情况吗?

I registered the domain onlyfans.sexy ~6 years ago as a gag where I&#x27;d post pictures of fans (everything on the site and in this post is SFW). This year I got an email stating that, like all prior years, the domain would auto-renew at $38 in seven days and didn&#x27;t think anything of the next two emails also notifying me that the domain would auto-renew.<p>It would seem that I very much SHOULD have paid attention to those next two emails, because in both the three and one day renewal emails the price changed from $38 to $3000. Needless to say, I was surprised when I was billed $3k USD (plus tax).<p>After contacting Hover&#x27;s customer support, they told me that there was nothing that they could do about this and they have a no refund policy because &quot;Hover does not have the ability to override or reverse pricing set by the registry. Premium domain pricing, including renewal costs, is determined by the registry, and they may adjust those prices over time. Once a renewal has been processed, we are charged that fee immediately by the registry, and those charges are non-refundable to us.&quot;<p>So according to Hover, the .sexy registry (Uniregistry) sets prices as it sees fit, decided to jack up the renewal cost at the last minute because they can, and there&#x27;s simply nothing they or I can do about it. Has anyone here experienced anything similar?
