Indiatimes Domains – goofing up once again!
I had registered a couple of .in domains with Indiatimes. After having a pathetic experience for something as small as changing DNS,
I renewed and transferred my domains to mailNspace domains.
Although I have shifted, I received a renewal mail which said renewal charges applicable are 399!! I became curious. I thought charges were 795. I clicked on the link given in the mail and then on one more link and got to a page which said charges were 795.
Below are the screen shots.
IMO, Indiatimes goofed up on 2 counts. First, they sent me a renewal mail.
Don’t they get rid of old records? Second, their mail showed a wrong rate! Don’t they have someone who checks and thouroughly proof-reads the drafts of outoging mails to customers?
If they don’t improve, they will surely have more and more customers like me that shift elsewhere.



Something always goes wrong with these guys
Ashish bhai,
why even you considered to go with them in the first place…I had nightmare with them before.

Actually, I went with them for .in domains. I was told it was one of the best option for .in
But now I know how pathetic they are. I thought its a part of the Times Group, so will maintain certain standards.
Hmm… if not for your need for a .in domain, I would have recommended Yahoo domains… But seems you missed that out as well, as they stopped giving out domains for $2 a year, which I bought some time back…
