However, I would like to give you my personal impressions and experiences so far, while dealing with them. The full chronology:

2006 02 05. Wrote an email to sales [AT] moniker [DOT] com asking for the special pricing. Their standart USD18.99 pricing scheme wasn’t appealing for me at all. Asked for the level 3 (USD12.95 new registrations, USD10.99 transfers and renewals) pricing. No answer for a week.
