Bah. I had all sorts of interesting plans for what work to do today, and they are all up in smoke.
My domain name registrar has gone tits up. I have about 10 domains there, including cliffski.com, so well done if you managed to still get here. Luckily the actual site hosting is with hostgator, and positech.co.uk is not affiliated at all with the useless incompetent muppets at my old domain name registrar. Also, thankfully my forums and the actual game server are thus unaffected.
It’s not *too* bad because hardly anyone types in the domain names, but I bet I’m losing some traffic now. I’m also possibly losing some email. bah.
I’ve been quoted $15 per domain to move them from my dodgy crappy cheap old registrar to the same company that hosts the site. That’s non trivial, but I guess it might be worth doing to avoid this mess. My real fear is that monday morning, the part time idiots that claim to run an inetrnet registrar won’t be fixing it, and I may be stuck in domain name limbo. This sucks :(
I wish I really understood more about DNS and the way it’s set up in WHM and stuff like that. Right now my sites are all a bit hacky, thats why going to gratuitousspacebattles.com just redirects you to positech. Ho hum. I guess it’s the games that matter, not this crap :D
