Outdoor Line Website Interruption Explanation
Posted: Fri Feb 25, 2011 3:47 pm
Yes.... That was quite the goat roping yesterday and also quite literally, entirely all my fault.
When I registered our domain name "theoutdoorline.com" with GoDaddy.com over two years ago, I used my old email address..
Once we got our site up and running I re-directed my old site's traffic to TOL.com and killed my old email address...or so I thought.
Despite the fact that I provided GoDaddy.com with my mailing address and phone number, their only attempts to contact me for renewal were via email to the old dead email address....despite the bouncebacks...
So, yesterday morning I woke up to a GoDaddy.com page where our site should have been and no email access since my only email is through my site which is now down because GoDaddy.com didn't get their twelve bucks... It was back to the stoneage for Nelly...
Needless to say, I spent the better part of the day un-clustering my latest cluster.....
We're now back up and running and shouldn't have this problem again for at least five years!
Sorry about the "service interruption"!!!
