ArtisticAlley.org is back!

[heidi]

Register.com are gits.

ETA: They told me this morning that it expired over a year ago, which I take to mean that it expired in July of 2004 (it was originally registered in July of 2001, IIRC) - and that makes *no* sense, as I have the email confirmations about renewals that we did of all of FA's domain names back in the spring of 2004. So I have to send those emails over to them today, but they say they have no record of it. I still don't know if they tried to send us any notifications of it being expired at any time in the last "over a year" period, but I can swear that my gmail account and my yahoo account have no such notices in them.

And they're not explaining why I have no record of any notices, or why it was transfered to a third party without any notice to me at the time said transfer happened.

So they're gits.

Confirmed - it purportedly expired in July 2004. Problem is, we renewed all our other domains in the spring of 2004 on the same account, and confirmed it with a phone call, so I just need to prove it to them and they'll refund the renwal fee that I paid today.

Gits.

It was just a mistake?

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

Honestly? I still have no idea.

Yes, they ARE gits. Ever registrar I've worked with has flooded me with notices about a forthcoming expiration months before it might happen and escalating up to the expiration date. Sorry they're being so stupid!

I've never been tempted to use them. I use godaddy.com which is a lot cheaper and not run by a band of ignorant morons.

Glad it's back, however.

But the original registrations were back in 2001, when the pool of registrants was a lot smaller than it is now. I'm moving everything to Toby's company asap.

Bah!

And I can't make the change back until I go home - I left the original files and all the links there - it'd take too much time to look them all up again so it'll be done tonight.

*hugs*

It's okay, I am sure people will follow hte link. Btw, the DNS hasn't propogated on my at-home computer yet anyway, so I can't even update the announcement on the top of that site. Alas.

Ugh! What ancarett said. I got free registration through my host, and even though I cancelled my account with them, I'm still getting domain registration renewal notices every week!

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

And do you honestly think they'd've let me change the DNS on that domain in September of 2004 if it had just expired?

[zorb]

Not without a little, "Hey, you should renew your registration!" notice first. *shakes head*

Mind, I thought domains were like a 12 monthly agreement. Weird. Especially if it expired like two years ago.

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

Mmmm, pretty. And yeah, you can get multi-year renewals, which I thought I had done with all FA's domains including AA. It's just bloody weird.

[msbhaven.livejournal.com]

I would be renewing those domains right now for the nest two years. What morons.

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

But I thought I had. I think that I have an email confirming that I had renewed it in 2004 for, actually, five more years. But now they're saying no. That's what's weird. They're not responding to me anymore now either; I don't know what I have to do to get a truthy answer from them.
