We put a lock on the name to keep anyone else from registering it. If the Internet connection failed while you were registering, please try to regiser again or advise us if the web page continues to state that the domain is taken. You can change to your ISP's nameservers after the name is registered. I really can't pay by credit card. Sorry, at this time we are able to take payment by credit card only.
Many companies have an employee register using their personal credit card.
The domain owner need not be the same as the person paying. The registrant typically reimburses the employee for the charge upon successful registration. If someone cared enough to register it in the first place, they'll probably renew the registration when it expires. Registry policies upon expiration are not uniform. In connection with registration servies, we provide a referral to one of the ultimate top level domain registries.
