Subject: Re: Cheap Domain Renewals
I see google is charging $12 a domain per year. DomainsPricedRight.com,
a reseller registrar owned by Parsons, or maybe the company he sold
to...., is selling domains for $12.99.

Pick your poison.

Even working at GD, I always hated their websites and admin tools... I hate putting all my eggs into one Google basket, but I've seen and tried much worse over the years.

According to ICANN, the domain will be renewed for 1 year by the new registrar, but the reactivation year added to your domain by the previous registrar will be revoked. You may also lose renewal fees paid to the previous registrar. Check more information here [2].
