It seems that an unknown number of Australian companies and consumers that were hosted by a U.S. based company have lost their Web sites and renewal fees. Yet, this is not the first incident with this company. Web sites hosted by US-based Web host RegisterFly have been disappearing in dribs and drabs over the past year. The domains are “parked”, generally when they have expired, but attempts to renew the domain by paying the fee mysteriously fail.
For anyone who is looking to save some money while building up their dream website then you are in luck. Free Rider Web Hosting has just announced that they will be selling domains for only $1.99, until April 30, 2007.
Changing your Web Host can be an expensive, time consuming and difficult practice to undertake. This is why many dissatisfied customers prefer to stay and put up with an awful hosting service. During most website migrations, through lack of knowledge or experience, many website owners end up loosing clients and damaging time-built company images, because their sites are unavailable for days or weeks on end.
