A WARNING TO OUR CUSTOMERS
Please be aware that VeriSign, Inc. (formerly Network Solutions) is sending, via the US Mail, what we believe to be deceptive and predatory domain expiration notices.
The purpose behind these notices is to get the unsuspecting customer to transfer to and renew their domain name(s) with VeriSign Inc. at significantly higher prices.
The domain expiration notices are designed so that it is not obvious that the notices are from VeriSign, Inc. as opposed to Go Daddy Software. To see a copy of one of these deceptive expiration notices, please click here.
Those customers who fall prey to the VeriSign, Inc. scheme will have their domain name(s) renewed at a price more than 3 times higher than would be the case if they renewed with Go Daddy Software.
It has also become clear that other individuals and companies are attempting to acquire our customer information – information in the "WhoIs" database that we're legally required to make public – so that they can make similar, predatory offers. We are vigorously combating this activity.
Please remember: Go Daddy does not send renewal notices via US Mail, only via email. We always make it absolutely clear to you that you're receiving a Go Daddy communication.
