[HLUG] End of the month

[Paul Stenning]

Well I have done three of the namesco deals, or at least tried to.

The first worked OK and I have managed to set the domain renewal as 
manual.

The second and third say there is no domain name associated with the 
accounts so I have no idea what happened there.  I only got one email 
("Welcome to Namesco!") for these transactions compared to four for the 
first one.

They were done with different email addresses but the same credit card. 
  They were done in different browsers to avoid cookie issues.

Pete, can you see any of them in the payment system you have?

Matt, can you check accounts PH344991 and PH344994 (the ones which 
apparently has no domain names) and make sure they not going to recharge 
me next year?  The domain I entered are another-website.info and 
yet-another-website.info respectively though I won't be using them so I 
don't care if they work or not (as long as I don't get charged any 
more).  The card expires in October anyway so a charge next year is most 
unlikely!

Best regards,
Paul Stenning
