</div><br><div><div dir="ltr">Hi there -- well, I'm getting frustrated with my current registrar "<a href="http://domainsatcost.ca" target="_blank">domainsatcost.ca</a>" ... whom I've used for many years.<div>
<br></div><div>They recently implemented an automatic renewal for all domains. Meaning, I get an email in my inbox saying I've been billed x$ for my domains that are 45 days from expiring. </div>
<div><br></div><div>I understand the reasoning behind it, (ie: DAU's) but I certainly don't agree with being billed without a pre-notice invoice of some type.

<div><br></div><div>Since they have no opt-out option and have no other option to not be renewed automatically, I am looking at other registrars to send my small needs, referrals, to.</div><div><br></div><div>What do you guys know of for decent registrars for CA domains that you'd recommend? that don't have draconian policies ...</div>
