: Mt shared hosting provider has taken hostage my domain name after my registration lapsed, how can I get it back without paying too much? I have a site that I hosed on a shared hosting plan

@Mendez628

You need to read the licensing agreement that you agreed to when you registered you domain with them. If what they are doing is in the section about what happens if your domain lapses and you want it back then you are probably going to have to pay the money.

Otherwise you have a chance at fighting them but I wouldn't. That fee is set in a sweet spot where they are going to make money off of you but it isn't to your advantage to call a lawyer. As the lawyer will cost your much more than that fee.
