eNom reactivation

[Chicken]

I know that enom used to have a fee to reactivate domains that had expired (can't recall how much, but like $30-ish). Now it shows the reactivation fee as the regular amount you'd have to pay, but with a red asterisk(*). Well, I can't find what this asterisk refers to, nor any mention of additional reactivation fees. Anyone reactivate an expired domain and know how much it costs?

[Bashar]

it costs nothing than the renewal fee, i renew domains always but no fees are applied

Do you mean once the domain has entered the redemption period? That would be $200 :eek:

eNom Redemption Period Process

- Once deleted from our database, it falls into the 30-day holding status called Redemption Period.
- Should you want to retrieve the domain during Redemption, there is a $200 fee to you plus the cost of the renewal.
- Only the previous registrant has the right to request the domain back. All others must wait until VeriSign drops the domain.
- During the 5-day Pending Delete status, we cannot recover the domain.

After the redemption period you can register the domain at the normal price.

Yes, this new fee to renew a domain in it's redemption period was just brought into effect recently. It is a pretty stiff penelty if you miss your renewal :D

Well, eNom isn't specific exactly. The domains are in:

You have 3 domain names that have expired and need to be reactivated.

I'm not sure this is the redemption period yet or not???

The reactivate price is listed as: 11.95*

This isn't in my account, it is in a sub-retail account.

Update:

Err.. OK, I went into the sub account and clicked on 'reactivate this domain' thinking it would bring up a total amount and the usual 'are you sure?' type prompt, which errrr... it didn't.

I got a copy of the email and according to it, my customer's card (whoops!) was charged $11.95
TOTAL BILLED: $11.95 USD to your MASTERCARD
So I guess reactivation is different than the redemption period, hopefully! I know he wouldn't have wanted to pay $200, and if it charged him that, I'm dead!!! :cry:
