I originally set up my site and registered my domain through GISOL. It wasn't long before I moved my site to a different company for hosting (because GISOL was terrible), but I haven't transferred the domain yet because last time I paid for a few years but they have previously let it expire on me. I contacted AllDomains and was told I have to pay $99.95 to activate my site or wait 36 days until it's available again. I contacted the toll free support line at GISOL - miracle I got someone - but of course they tell me I have to call the other line - not a toll free line - and I am immediately put on hold without being talked to. Hung up after 10 minutes and will send an email. If that doesn't work I guess I will wait the 36 days. I am very happy this is my hobby website and not one of my important ones. I'm not sure how they stay in business - I found this site searching for reviews of them and was shocked to read all the negative things. I sure wish there was this much information out there years ago when I first signed up with them.
