    Hi,

    As your trusted supplier for domain name registration, we are pleased to introduce you to new domain offerings and domain news that we believe will be of special interest to you.

    THE AMERICANS ARE COMING!

    There is only one chance to be at the start of something big. April 24, 2002 represents Independence Day for .US domain names. For the very first time all Americans and American organizations will be able to easily register their domain name under .US.

    We expect hundreds of thousands of names to be registered in the first months. We wouldn't be surprised if .US grows to be the largest ccTLD in the world. After all, .US is America's Internet address. Whether you're an individual looking to establish a standout email address, a proud American business, a government or non-profit organization that provides service to Americans - .US is the best domain name for you.

    We are going to start taking orders for .US registrations as soon as the .US registry begins live registrations, on a first come, first served basis, on April 24.

    We anticipate strong, early demand for .US. Visit this page on April 24th to register your .US domain registration.

    For more details and updates about this new offering, please visit http://discountdomainregistry.com/dotus.shtml .

    DOMAIN SLAMMING ALERT

    We would like to advise you of a business practice that is becoming common in the domain marketplace and which may result in you inadvertently transferring your domain business away from http://discountdomainregistry.com/.

    With increasing frequency, outside companies are making unsolicited offers directed towards our customers. It has been brought to our attention that these letters have been causing a great deal of confusion among our customers.

    It is of the utmost importance that you ignore ALL communications regarding your domain name registrations except those sent directly from http://discountdomainregistry.com/.

    We hope to clear up any confusion with this email.

    The Trick
    A company will send a letter to you, either by email, or via the postal service, thanking you for registering or renewing your domain name. The letter will also invite you, in language that suggests a prior business relationship, to make some change to your domain, or to simply renew it, which will result in the name being transferred away from http://discountdomainregistry.com/ and to the new company.

    Protecting Your Domain Name Registration
    We recommend taking the following steps to ensure that you aren't inadvertently deceived by these solicitations:

    1) Ignore ANY communication regarding your domain name registration that is not from http://discountdomainregistry.com/
    2) Report any incidents to us directly at support@DiscountDomainRegistry.com .
    3) Send us a sample of any solicitation letters as evidence to support@DiscountDomainRegistry.com .
    4) Report the incident by filing it through support@DiscountDomainRegistry.com .

    If you have already made a payment, we suggest contacting your bank or credit card company regarding your options of having payment stopped or reversed.

    We regret that this notice is necessary, but feel it is important to notify our clients of this issue. If you have any questions regarding this or any other issue, please do not hesitate to contact us at support@DiscountDomainRegistry.com .
