bank statement will show a charge from "Root Route Corp.", and continues automatically every month, until you close the account.
Online banking services show the transaction's origin. The account is not billed until after it is activated.
How do I close an account ?
Login your account, select "support", then "billing/accounting", and post a closure message.
Note that transfering a domain does not automatically close an account.
There is no "implicit" account closing, explicit instruction to close an account is needed.
Accounts that are not accessed for a long time, are NOT closed. Some users use their account only for data storage purpose.
