So irritated. I accidentally let a domain expire that I've had for a few years that I really want to keep. In order to get it back, I've got to pay $110. Apparantly, GoDaddy keeps expired domains in a "redemption period" for 30 days or so, during which time they try to get previous owners to pay a bunch of money to get it back. I think that they will release it to the general public, upon which time I could try to buy it again at the regular price.
Thankfully, I was hosting the actual website somewhere else, but it sucks because I can't be sure I'll get the domain back.
Lesson #1 learned for me (and all of you): host with a place that doesn't hold domains hostage and extort money from you. I would pay extra, just not 10 times the amount. No way. It's just the principle.
Lesson #2: Renew your domains! If this were a money making site for me (it's not, which is why I won't pay the $110), I would have to pay it.
Lesson #3: Read the fine print. Know who you are doing business with before you do it... If I had known this, I could've registered my domain with someone else to begin with.
