Domain Name Expired
I screwed up and must have missed the warning emails from Network Solutions (my domain name registrar) about the fact that my domain name was about to expire. I got an email this morning telling me that my domain name protection service had expired, which meant that anyone in the world could have scooped up my domain name. Fortunately, the domain name is worthless. It’s really not a great e-commerce or business name, so it’s pretty safe.
I’m just glad someone didn’t snag it, park it, and ransom it for big bucks. I’m not sure I would have shelled out the money for the ransom had this happened. I guess it would have depended on the price and how well I trusted the ransom holder.
Anyway, beosig.net is safe for another three years.
PS: I did check my other four domains (yes, I have five total), and they are fine for a while. As a matter of fact, the one I have for my son is good until he turns 10 years old, and he’s only four months old at the moment. Heh. That’s assuming that the whole WWW as we know it now still exists a decade from now.
