Honest question: does GoDaddy just not offer autorenewal of domain registry--and fail to remind people that their domains need renewing? I'm seeing a large handful of Gold OA journals that have turned into parking pages, and they're almost always GoDaddy pages that weren't renewed. That shouldn't happen. Ever.
Admittedly, I'm spoiled: 1&1 charges less (I think), allows autorenewal *and* reminds you twice before the renewal happens, and reminds you in any case. Oh, and has never (AFAIK) run sexist ads on TV. - walt crawford
