Damn… I found this page because I was flailing about on ZE trying to find the registration fees. I’ve used ZE for several years - 20+ domains - and been very happy. I also experienced some extremely slow mail forwarding in December, but only on one specific domain… now I’m guessing it was one of the five freebies.
I was getting ready to transfer registration to ZE, because my original registrar who was a local ISP with his offices a block from me has sold his registration business to, uh… lessee… “awesomenet” I think their name is, and they suck big time, even lost me a good name because in renewing five domains I had to re-enter the payment card each time and typo’ed one, then got an email saying they were renewing all five… a week later I got an email from some asshole offering to sell me back my domain for $250 - turned out the charge was denied - obviously - and so the payment on that one domain didn’t go through, but the notice of denial was so nearly identical in format to the notices of renewal that I didn’t notice. Was it my fault? Mmmmmaybe, but you know, it should have processed and notified me before leaving the )(*&@#$ page in the first place… They, of course, denied any responsibility of any sort whatsoever, duhhhh.
Having read the preceding mss, I believe I’m gonna pass on ZE’s domain registration. I did put a couple on 1+1, but they fluffed them up, and tried to bill me for hosting, too… took hours to get it straight, and I’m not sure it is completely straight just yet.

Thanks for the info, folks…
