If you don't renew a domain name, someone else can buy it. Is this much different?

If you don’t renew a domain name, the person who buys it after you doesn’t get access to all the emails you’ve sent + a copy of your website. They just get the name and have to start from scratch.

(Which is how it should be on meetup — clear all of the group content, members, etc and let somebody start over with just the name)
