Nobody renewed startskydive.com, so it's under new (ridiculous) management. Scratch the skydive lotto ticket below — find 10 parachutes and the domain is yours for free. (Good luck. You'll need it.)
Seconds you've spent here without renewing a domain: 0
The big one. Full browser skydiving, keyboard and mouse, hosted somewhere else for now.
Registrar sends a polite email: “Your domain expires soon.” Filed under “later.”
Second email. Subject line now in ALL CAPS. Marked as read. Not read.
Final notice. Somewhere a card on file quietly expires too.
The domain expires. The internet shrugs.
Somebody else buys it for about the price of a sandwich.
You are here, scratching a lotto ticket you cannot win. Hehehe.
Lesson for every business out there: renew your domain, set it to auto-renew, then buy the misspellings, the .net, and the one with “start” in front. Otherwise a stickman moves in.
Did you forget to renew this domain? No hard feelings (okay, a few). You can reclaim it for a one-time fee and I'll transfer it back to you. The stickman stays with me.
Fill this out and I'll get back to you about the $4,500 transfer.
Nope. You forgot to renew this address, I didn't, so it became a stick-figure skydiving game. Don't forget to buy your alternate domains.
Not here. But you can scratch a skydive lotto ticket for free.
Less than a pizza. Getting it back costs $4,500 — significantly more than a lesson learned.
