why is my domain expiring?
-
I am concerned that I am getting a lot of emails that says the domain for pz-designs.com is going to be available imminently.
I renewed my package in March this year for the premium package which should include payment for the domain as well.
Here is a screenshot link of my bill:

Can you confirm that my domain for pz-designs.com has been fully paid for and I am not in danger of losing it. Also why do you think I am suddenly getting all these emails (sometimes up to 4 a day).Many thanks,
Laila

Hi @timethief,
Thanks for your help. I actually thought I was filling in a support ticket to staff and found it here :/

Who are the email’s from and are they through Domains by Proxy? (they are keeping your personal info private)
You might be the target of a scam of some sort. But the staff can help with that – I get renewal or register junk scams on a regular basis – sometimes I find it amusing and forward it to my ISP (they are also my registrar) so we can both chuckle a bit – but some of the emails can be very terrifying with their language

Domain by Proxy is trash! Don’t be sucked in. Toss everyone of those emails from those leeches into the trash can and blog on.

Domains by Proxy hides your personal info for you from someone doing a whois on your domain name – you pay I think $ 8.– / year through your WordPress.COM upgrades – (the Private Registration I think it is called) – all domain name registrations need to have certain contact info as public – it is an internet rule –
if you do a whois on your domain name and look at the information it will show Domains by Proxy as the contact info – so someone can get the info there and send you an email but it is filtered through Domains by Proxy so nobody on the internet gets your personal info –

Hahaa! I shall indeed toss those nasty emails! If I could be bothered, I’d print them off and set them of fire! ;PThanks again ^__^

Domains by Proxy is legit – but the email I think (I don’t use them – my info is way public) would show a Domains by Proxy return – but the links in the email wanting you to transfer your registration to the high priced scam is where the scam would be – yes a scam email filtered through a legit company –
I think my test domain has private registration with it – guess I have a new test project – :)

You should also receive an email through domains by proxy with a whois link in it – just sent it
the email that came through my proxy was to the proxy with the email account in the from line that I used to send it to my self

Please ignore that e-mail you received. Your domain won’t expire until 2014-03-23. You can manage your upgrades at https://pzdesigns.wordpress.com/wp-admin/paid-upgrades.php?page=my-upgrades
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thank you for the reassurance @kardotim :)
I knew it wasn’t going to expire until next year, but thought there was a glitch or something, as this is the first time I’ve received such emails from Domains by Proxy.
