Subject: Domain name issues - final report -

Domain name issues - Just so this doesn't happen to you - So that http://www.asondheim.org/ dead-ends or so that whatever content is put up there might seem like mine - but won't be. Sludge-world. Specifically: Because of identity theft, we changed our credit card. It bounced at godaddy (or whomever was handling the account). I wasn't informed that the domain had expired. I was told that six emails were sent to me stating such - they never came. I heard from Eric below who had bought the site "at auction" because it generated a lot of hits. He wanted to keep it running as is but with improvements. I felt I needed control - I knew and know nothing about him (although he has a reasonable site up re: below). It made no sense to have him as landlord. So I said no; he wrote back and said he liked the work and didn't really own it yet, that I would own it for a few more days. This was at variance with what godaddy/Totalchoice had said, which led me to think he might try and sell it back to me. I emptied the site, took out the new name for 10 years (re: below). The problem is that the !@#$%^&* first site is smeared everywhere across the Net and people clicking on it will reach a dead end. So much for distribution. Anyway be careful; if I had an .edu site this wouldn't happen of course, but commercial sites are up for grabs. - Stupid Alan >From WHOIS: Registrant: ORIEA 25 Fihelly St Fadden Canberra, ACT 2904 Australia Registered through: GoDaddy.com, Inc.
