Have you received a letter indicating that your Domain Name “search engine” registration is about to expire? And they’re asking you to pay as much as $119 for 2 yrs? It’s a scam.
First of all, you should know who your website is hosted with and can verify through them the validity of this letter. If you don’t know where your domain is registered, you can look it up using whois.net, just type in your domain and click Go.
Secondly, there is no such thing as a “Search Engine Registration.” You can submit your website to many different search engines, but once you do so, it never expires.
