So. My domain name (davidgagne.net) registration expired on February 9. Rather than do something silly, like send me an eMail to warn me that it was about to expire, the folks at dotster simply closed my home on the ‘net and replaced it with that Renewal Notice. As far as I can tell, I got lucky and nobody else decided to renew my name for me. I realized what had happened Sunday morning and promptly sent them my credit card information to bill me for another year. As of now (about 3 pm) the site is still down and I can’t get my eMail or anything. Interestingly enough, I still have FTP access, so posting this to Blogger might actually work. I don’t know. The Renewal Notice has been replaced with a message saying that I’ve re-registered and everything should be fine in a few hours. But still. Geez.

If credit card debt or student loan payments are killing you, I highly recommend taking a look at SoFi. Their low rates and incredibly quick and simple application process might be just what you need.
