HN 提问：我的域名注册商 (Hover) 卷款 3000 美元跑路了
5 分•作者: shrinks99•7 天前
大约六年前，我注册了 onlyfans.sexy 这个域名，当时只是个玩笑，打算在上面发布一些粉丝的照片（网站上和这篇帖子里的所有内容都是安全的）。今年我收到一封邮件，说像往年一样，域名将在七天后自动续费 38 美元，我并没有在意之后收到的另外两封关于域名自动续费的通知邮件。
看来我当初真应该好好留意那两封邮件，因为在续费前三天和一天发来的邮件中，价格从 38 美元涨到了 3000 美元。不用说，当我被收取 3000 美元（外加税费）的账单时，我非常惊讶。
联系了 Hover 的客服后，他们告诉我他们对此无能为力，并且他们有不退款政策，因为“Hover 无权更改或撤销注册局设定的价格。高级域名的定价，包括续费成本，由注册局决定，他们可能会随时调整价格。一旦续费处理完毕，注册局会立即向我们收取费用，而这些费用对我们来说是不可退款的。”
所以，根据 Hover 的说法，.sexy 注册局（Uniregistry）随意设定价格，并在最后一刻提高了续费成本，因为他们有这个能力，而他们或我都对此无能为力。这里有人遇到过类似的情况吗？

I registered the domain onlyfans.sexy ~6 years ago as a gag where I'd post pictures of fans (everything on the site and in this post is SFW). This year I got an email stating that, like all prior years, the domain would auto-renew at $38 in seven days and didn't think anything of the next two emails also notifying me that the domain would auto-renew.<p>It would seem that I very much SHOULD have paid attention to those next two emails, because in both the three and one day renewal emails the price changed from $38 to $3000. Needless to say, I was surprised when I was billed $3k USD (plus tax).<p>After contacting Hover's customer support, they told me that there was nothing that they could do about this and they have a no refund policy because "Hover does not have the ability to override or reverse pricing set by the registry. Premium domain pricing, including renewal costs, is determined by the registry, and they may adjust those prices over time. Once a renewal has been processed, we are charged that fee immediately by the registry, and those charges are non-refundable to us."<p>So according to Hover, the .sexy registry (Uniregistry) sets prices as it sees fit, decided to jack up the renewal cost at the last minute because they can, and there's simply nothing they or I can do about it. Has anyone here experienced anything similar?
