September 2, 2005 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Business registrar BulkRegister (bulkregister.com) announced on Friday that it is automatically renewing all domains set to expire through September 16, and those already expired, for members affected by Hurricane Katrina. 

The move is to assure those displaced by the hurricane that they will maintain ownership of their domains, and that they will continue to function. If the domains of affected BulkRegister's members were to expire, the Web sites associated with them would become inaccessible and could result in lost business and the possible loss of the domain name itself.

"Many of these members manage hundreds of domain names, and they currently have no access to a computer or phone to renew key domains," says Eric Rice, general manager of BulkRegister. "This small courtesy is the least we can do to make sure that critical domains are not lost. We encourage the entire reseller and registrar community to extend similar support to their domain holders."

To qualify for complimentary auto-renewal, domains must have already expired or be scheduled to expire by September 16, 2005. The member's address must also be in a zip code considered closed to mail service by the United States Postal Service as of August 31, 2005.
