After contacting their customer support multiple times, even after more than a year, all I have ever gotten back from them is that I will hear from them soon, as they need more time to investigate, and they appreciate my patience. I was refused renewing the domain or moving to a different registrar.'); ?></p>
<p><?php echo _('Given that I was unable to get a satisfying answer and the old domain was due to expire, I went ahead and bought the new domain danwin1210.de, to switch over to. danwin1210.me went down after expiry, but thankfully I was allowed to pay for extension by creating a new account and depositing the money for renewal there, so it was back up shortly afterwards.'); ?></p>
<p><?php echo _('After a year my domain was due expiry again, so I enquired if I could move to a different registrar now. They offered me again to pay via an alternate account, because: <q>Unfortunately, we need more time to investigate your issue.</q> A year should be more than enough time to solve whatever issue they might have with my account… This time I decided to let it expire for good, since almost everyone should have switched over to the new domain by now.'); ?></p>

You might otherwise get locked out of your accounts, if they require you to e.g. click a link in your email for login.'); ?></p>
