I Paid Another Company For My Domain, How Did It End Up With You?

We were recruited by Tucows to handle all domain disputes on their behalf. What that means is that we are frequently assigned domains by them to resolve. We recognize that some of you may have paid other hosting or domain registrars, but those payments weren’t transferred for one reason or another to Tucows, and therefore you service was not renewed.

 

We are experts in handling this type of situation and will require payment for your domain renewal.

You may setup to make a payment here.

Pricing for regular renewals for most TLD are as follows:

  • $29 Non-ACTWD hosting customers.
  • $19 To all ACTWD hosting customers that just want us to service the domain without hosting or payment plans.
  • Free to all ACTWD hosting customers who pay annually.

 

My Admin Email Is Wrong Or Goes To The Wrong Person

If you don’t have access to either of these items you will need to call tech support for specific instructions related to you. Please note that domain ownership issues are only handled during normal business hours (9AM-5PM) US Central Time Monday – Friday.
