When MHSC registers a domain, for someone else, we put it in *their* name in the first-place. But, we also only carry the primaries until they can get their own set up. We will carry secondaries for almost anyone. The bottom-line is that they don't have to notify you other than as a courtesy. That you were comping them other services is irrelevent. It creates no compulsion/obligation on their part, towards you. Incentive, maybe. But, not obligation. Yes, it is rude on their part. But, that's about all. ___________________________________________________ Roeland M.J.
