Congratulations on your new domain name! Few things are as essential to
establishing a presense on the Internet as a domain name, and by
registering yours, you've just taken the most important step.

Unfortunately, you may have paid too much money for that domain name
registration. The standard price at most registrars is $35 per year,
meaning that you could've saved up to 60% if you had registered with
Dotster. Dotster's standard, everyday low price for .com, .net and .org
domain name registrations is just $14.95!

It's not too late for you to save! Transfer to Dotster now for only
$11.95.
You won't lose any time on your registrations, because we'll add an
additional year onto your registration term -- all for just $11.95!

If you don't want to transfer, but have other domain names you need to
register, give Dotster a try! We're a top-ten ICANN accredited
registrar,
committed to excellent customer support, competitive pricing, and
innovative tools and technology to make the registration process easy
and
fun. Visit https://secure.dotster.com/campaign.php?id=OCT11901 today to
start registering and saving!

Dotster also offers great deals on Web hosting. Plans start at just
$13.95
per month! Visit https://secure.dotster.com/campaign.php?id=WHOCT11901

I know the feeling... I felt bad too... I don't know if it is a mail from dotster or someone else trying to discredit dotster [highly unlikely methinks]

But that I got that mail is true indeed!

Could it be a Dotster affiliate? The id= bit looks like an affiliate thing.

maybe you sigend up somewhere without reading fine print and one of those sites said we can sell your name to people ??

but true very scary when you get mail form some company you respect ;)

You didn't happen to register a domain with Dotster in the past few past, hmm? :D

No Marc, I didn't!

In fact I have registered all my domains with netsol earlier and enom of late...

And Honu, I honestly don't know how many places I sign up or visit! ~L~

Anyway I didn't mind the mail so much; just wanted to know if anyone else got it

Thx

Noooooooooooooo! My favorite registrar spamming. I think I may give them a call and also give a piece of my mind to them.
