This is a really long story, and I don't think I've ever told it in full! But I get asked a lot, so I thought I'd add it. Basically, everything was going on its merry little way :P. I'd moved kk.com's hosting from UKdomains to Dreamhost months before. I hadn't moved the actual registration though, but I was surprised when I got an automated e-mail from UKdomains saying the registration was going to expire. I e-mailed them and asked if they would transfer it to my Dreamhost account. No reply. I then requested for the domain to be transferred through Dreamhost. Again, no reply from UKdomains. I was beginning to panic now, so I decided to renew kk.com via UKdomains and transfer it later. They wouldn't let me without some code thing that I didn't know because they wouldn't reply to my e-mails!! I contacted Dreamhost and they said I could re-register it as soon as the registrar dropped it. Guess what...they didn't drop it when they were supposed to :/ So wonderful Josh who works at Dreamhost pulled all the strings he could to try and get it for me. He said it would probably cost $100 to get it back. I didn't mind this, because I really wanted my site back. Unfortunately, he couldn't, and stupid squatters stole my domain :( And that's a shortened version of it. So basically, all the years of work I put into my site were GONE. None of my visitors knew what had happened, I was stressed out, and it was all a big mess. I managed to keep a copy of my site though, and bought a new domain name and started again from scratch. It took me weeks to re-upload all my content and change image URLs etc. and my site name on images. Plus, it's taking me months to get the hits I was getting before. So there you go :( Back | Forward Advertised |
