1. Don't use
[email protected] as contact info
2. Check email more than once a month
If 2 things are too much:
1. Have a payment method on file and check the box next to "Auto-renewal", which is always checked everywhere anyway, unless you uncheck it.
If 1 thing is too complicated and it's a name you know you're going to keep for a while, especially if it's an important site, register for the next ten years for ~$100.
It's ridiculous even the number of giants I've seen over the years that have an expiry for the next year or even the same year.
Just looked at a few huge names now, porn and non-porn.
Hustler and Playboy's domains expire in the next six months and cams.com expires in less than 3 weeks time.
Youtube, merely the #1 site on the internet by popularity/bandwidth, expires in less than two months and Gmail, Paypal, Amazon and other gigantic sites also all have expiry dates in 2024. What are they (Mark Monitor) doing, renewing every year?
Meanwhile Pornhub and Chaturbate expire in 2027, OnlyFans in 2033. Likewise sex.com, which still maybe renews every year anyway to be on the safe side.
