It's certainly unusual - I'm not sure if it's dodgy
Let's say you buy a domain name and web hosting for two years. Your hosting agreement lasts for two years exactly. At which point your host turns the hosting off.
Your domain name also lasts for two years but Nominet very kindly give you a grace period after that two years.
Your host is under no obligation to provide DNS/email/web after their contract with you runs out.
So is it wrong, in between expiry and suspension, for the host/registrar to point it to a parking page, a registrar holding page, or something else?
I know the PAB looked at registrar parking pages in September 2008 - whilst this isn't the same thing, it's surely in the same ballpark:

Any idea if this is in the T&Cs?
