In case you haven't noticed, a domain snatcher got the Tower.  This year I transferred the domain name service from my old host to my new host, and I paid for it in full two days ago, yet something seemed to slip through the cracks and a domain snatcher got it anyway.  

SoA is ANGRY.

I'm working to see what can be done to get it back.  This should not be happening.  At all.


Edit:  So I have heard from my host.  The deal is that the transfer of the domain wasn't finalized when my old host dropped it, so they needed me to click some agreements still and work through their end of the transfer.  It should be going live synched with my new host within the next couple of days.  Fwew.  

SoA is relieved.


Another Edit:  Apparently hostrocket was slow and didn't hand over my domain in time.  They just let it expire and wouldn't give it to dinohost.  Dinohost has refunded me for the domain transfer and recommended that I try to renew the domain with hostrocket and then try to transfer it over again.  I am not optimistic, however, because hostrocket is notorious for ignoring the grace period and selling off domain names to snipers all the time.  Here's hoping this time is an exception.

SoA is worried.


Last Edit: Hostrocket was far more accommodating than I expected.  I was able to renew my domain through them again, and I will shift it over to dinohost again later, but not with such a tight renewal schedule.  We're good for another year.  Now that was exciting, wasn't it?

SoA is still annoyed but happy the Tower is back.
