Hi Karen: The registrar I have linux-speakup.org with is
internic.com. They gave me some bull shit about because it was a .org
domain they had to charge $46 a year plus tax etc. My other registrar
told me they wanted $25 for a single year but discounts for multi-year
contracts. It would probably be significantly cheaper if I were to
take it out for ten years or so.
Internic has always been much more expensive than other registrars but
when I started with them over twenty years ago there were very few
domain name providers around at all.

Hi there,
Just wondering, how much were they going to charge you?
All of my domain, save the one here in Canada are with gkg.net
www.gkg.net.
I spend on average $12 a year, with the amazing ability to update with them
on the phone.
Even my Canadian domain with bare medal
www.baremedal.ca I hope lol, is little more than $14.
why is yours so expensive?
just wondering,
Kare

Hello everybody: I have decided after poking around with my domain
registrar that I'm going to allow the domain linux-speakup.org to
expire. My current registrar wants to much money yearly to continue
with them and transferring the domain to my other registrar is more
work than I wish to put in. I am almost 72 years old and so
registering for any length of time really isn't worth it to me.
I will keep this list going as speakup@xxxxxxxxxx and Chris Brannon
will continue to archive the list. I will also put a link on the
reisers.ca webpage to point to the old sites directory so at least for
quite a while that will also remain.
I will make the switch over on March 1st although it'd be more amusing
to do it on the day of the command March 4th! I'll send out a note
once the switch is complete and hopefully you won't have to do
anything except move from speakup@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx to
speakup@xxxxxxxxxx when posting a message.
