Do I have your domain name? IMPORTANT!
« on: February 16, 2008, 11:56:53 PM »

Many of our hosting customers have their domain names registered with Domain750.

I really need to retire, for medical reasons, and I won't be able to give you the support for your domain name you need. Please transfer your domain name elsewhere BEFORE IT EXPIRES.

It's a pretty simple matter. Simply give Bert $10, and ask him to transfer the domain name. It would have cost you $10 anyhow to renew the name, and when you transfer the domain name, you will get a full year from your expiry date. That is, if you have 6 months to go, you will have 18 months after you do the transfer. It doesn't cost you anything extra, it just requires that you do this ahead of the expiry date.

If you wait until it expires, though, you can't transfer it at that time. You would need to renew it first, and then transfer it. And if you transfer it within 60 days of renewing it, you end up losing that extra year. Ouch.

If you want to go with another company, it would work about the same way. Some companies charge a slightly different price for renewing their own domain names than for transferring other domain names, but it's usually pretty piddling. If you transfer it to Bert, there won't be any interruption in the DNS service, because Bert is affiliated with Public Domain Registry, the same as I was, and you can still have *free* domain name "cloaking". Some outfits charge $8 to $13 annually to conceal your name and address on your domain registration.

Please do NOT allow your domain name to expire, and then renew it with me. As of March 1, I will start be charging $20, not $10, for domain names, because I really don't want your business. If you transfer your domain name before it expires, I won't get a dime - and that's the way it ought to be.

If your domain name is currently "cloaked" and you want to transfer your domain name to anyone OTHER than Bert, you'll need to let me know, so that I know that YOU are trying to transfer your domain name, rather than it being someone else trying to hijack your domain name.

OK. So... as far as I know, none of my domains are 'cloaked'. If one was to look up my domains in a whosis, one would see all my personal info. That seems definitively uncloaked to me. Does that mean what we're talking about here doesn't apply to my domains? Or does it?

Am I free to change my registrar and renew my domain names at any time prior to their expiration without all the hoopla (and added costs) mentioned above? Or must they be removed from Domain750 and re-registered before March 1 no matter what? Anyone?

Hi..Paul.
My Amish account has been suspended as of Feb. 9, 2008. Cannot move anything or get in. I was shocked to be honest.  Am I the only one that boobooed.?

I was not aware of the date due.  My cpanel has correct information for my address to let me know.


Webtv has been a great learning experience, some good and some bad. 

I was once told by a host that my art was a drag on his system. (not either of you)  I hated to hear that. So, it did make me wonder and have questions.

Thanks Bert for your help and most of all your understanding not every one is rich (lol) and you have been patient with people when we are trying to do things the right way to help you, too.

Hi Sandy,
First a clarification. Transferring your domain over to the ZboX domain service will currently only cost you $8.94. We had to raise our prices last year because our registrar did. And with transfering that includes one year of registration. Yes you will need to transfer your domain whether it's "cloaked" or not (yours isn't Sandy).

We've always done domains a little differently. We don't make anything on domains, it's a service to get folks the domain they want for a good price. And the domain is yours to do what you want with.

If you want to transfer your domain over to us, email Paul and ask for your "transfer secret". Once you get that from him email me the info, send me the $8.94 and I'll get the transfer started.

Hi Xena,
Yes you do. But no worries as we take checks/money orders for domains also. Email Paul for your transfer secret.

If you are not sure what the status of your domain is go here:

http://centralops.net/co/DomainDossier.aspx

Type your domain in the box and it will give you all the info about your domain you need.

The whois for my domains say the following

==================

Domain Name: DANCEAWAYSB.COM
    Registrar: DIRECT INFORMATION PVT LTD D/B/A PUBLICDOMAINREGISTRY.COM
    Whois Server: whois.PublicDomainRegistry.com
    Referral URL: http://www.PublicDomainRegistry.com

==================

Domain Name: ECLECTICDJS.COM
    Registrar: DIRECT INFORMATION PVT LTD D/B/A PUBLICDOMAINREGISTRY.COM
    Whois Server: whois.PublicDomainRegistry.com
    Referral URL: http://www.PublicDomainRegistry.com

==================

Am I correct in thinking that I don't have to do anything? It doesn't have my contact info. Is it hidden away somewhere so I get notifications if something comes up?

My friend's whois says:

==================

Domain Name: DANCINGFROMTHEHEART.ORG
 Registrant Name: XX
.
.
 Admin Name: B J Hammel
 Admin Organization: Domain 750 Proxy Registration

=====================

Does she need to do anything?

So the answer is yes. Email Paul for your domain secret and send that to me, send me the $8.94 and we'll get your domain transferred.

As for your friend, she needs to do the same. Bottom line is if you registered your domain through Paul, you will need to transfer it. All you need do is email Paul for your transfer secret, then send that to me along with your $8.94 and we'll get it taken care of.

I am glad I was lurking in ngs or else I would have never known about this.
Even tho my domain name doesn't expire till Oct 18, 2008, I still need transfer it before March 1?
Where do I send the money? Don't know address.
Paul required a domain name, do we have to have one at Z-box?? This is very confusing. All I ever wanted was a safe and secure storage place for my images after Dream Server went poof!!
thanks

Hi Texun,
You do have some options. If you no longer want to use a domain name we can change your account over to a subdomain account. Problem there though is that all of your url's will change. As far as your domain expiration date of October, no you don't need to do anything right away, you just need to make the transfer before your expiration date in October. However, it's best to get the transfer done as soon as possible. So, just send me your $8.94, email Paul to get your transfer secret, and I'll get your transfer started asap.

I totally understand. Send your payment to:

Bert Pourchot
214 Klenke LN
Canyonville, OR 97417

And yes I will notify everyone here in the forum when the server move happens. However for the most part that move will be painless with no down time for your account.

I just sent Paul a check a week or two ago for the web hosting which includes 3 domain names. I have two domains. The other one, eclecticdjs.com got renewed but danceawaysb.com did not. Do I still have to pay more?

Danceawaysb was originally register via geocities. If anyone is considering payed hosting or domain registering through geocities, DON'T DO IT! Totally nonexistant customer service. Way over priced for what you get. Nothing like cPanel or Fantastico. No server side scripting. Took me a year to get them to give me back control of domain and stop charging me.

Hi Mike,
If you've already paid for your renewal then no you won't have to pay again until your renewal date. As long as that was recent. Me and Paul are still comparing notes on things that are going on. Some renewals are going to him, and some are going to me. There is a bit of a fog that happens whenever a transition of owners happens like this. But we'll get it sorted out.

Mike, I'll talk to Paul and get this worked out.

Since Bert has become sysop of DAP, I haven't been monitoring the support@domania.org address that I previously used for just about everything.

You can send me email at paulding@tricemail.com or you can leave a PM for me here. (Click on my username, and you'll see my profile. At the bottom, there is a link for sending a PM to me.)

Blondie is leaning hard on me to stay away from the computer. It's hard; I'm addicted. I used to advise people that I have to respond immediately to email, because I can't remember to do it later, so if you don't get a reply within a few hours, you should assume that I missed your message.

If Blondie wins, that's no longer true. However, at this point, if I still don't get back within 72 hours, either your message (or my reply) got lost along the way, or else I screwed up, and in either case, you should prod me with a sharp stick to wake me up.

Do you take paypal?  Once I have my "secret" and send it to you it would be much quicker to do it that way rather than via snailmail.  Also.. if I wanted my stuff cloaked does that cost extra? If so, how much?

I noticed in my query at that whois site down below.. my contact info is still set at "momisty@webtv.net" and I have long since left the webby community (involuntarily... msn went bye-bye in my area).  Should I ask Paul to update that or could you?

Hi Paul,


 


I read the post in ZboXhosting about domain names. Bert
said to email you about transferring the domain name over to him. He said to ask
for my "transfer secret". The domain name is nellybly.com.

The support@domania.org address is going nowhere now, and once I set it up again it will go to me.

Misty, yes we take Paypal. Send the payment from your Paypal screen to:

zbox@zboxhosting.com

And I will change your contact info for you.

Hi Sandy,
There is an issue with transferring domains. Seems that because me and Paul are resellers for the same company we can't transfer domains at all! Doh! But there is a way to do it. We have contacted our mutual registrar and are waiting on the final answer on how it's done. Obviously we want to do this right. So hang on a couple of days and we'll get this done.

My apologies for this from me and Paul. This is part of the "fog" that happens whenever ownership changes hands like this. This is something that we hadn't thought about.

For you folks that have sent payments for your transfers, no worries. Once we learn exactly how to do this I'll add your payment to renew your domains for another year.
