Fortune 500 Companies' Expiring Domains

[chris]

To follow on from the post about Regions Bank, DNW has a list of Fortune 500 companies who have also dropped the ball.

American Express’ domain expires in about six weeks. Here are other companies that need to pay attention.

Regions Bank, part of a Fortune 500 company, let its domain name registration expire over the weekend. As a result, thousands of customers were unable to conduct online banking transactions.

Generally, when a domain expires and is taken offline, that also means emails to and from employees won’t be delivered as well.

In other words: letting your domain expire is a big screw up.
