Howdy Y'all,
I realize that it has been awhile since I have spoken with most of you. As I am sure some of you know I have relocated to the TN area. Which is why I have been out of the loop. However, I am now back in full swing and things are awesome.
Which leads me to my reason for posting. In the beginning Shawn and I started the South Florida Turbo Buick Club as a venue for all of us to get together for some fun GN times. My contribution to the club was to provide all web related services with the exception of design. This included Domain Registration, Hosting and Email services. I am sure you are all aware that the site has been down for some time. Originally I thought it was due to the fact of the move from FL to TN but after dealing with the registrar for several months it seems that was not the case. The reason our site is down is because the company that I WAS affiliated with for domain registrations had SOMEHOW sold our domain to someone else. I had this registration for a 5 year term and this is beyond me. Being an IT professional for over 10 years I have never seen this happen before. So, they have refunded the total amount I paid for the 5 year registration and what we have to do is RE-REGISTER a NEW DOMAIN. If we want to stick with SFTBC as the domain here are the available Top Level Domains:
sftbc.com is available
sftbc.info is available
sftbc.us is available
sftbc.club is available
If we want to keep the .ORG designation then we would need to decide on a new DOMAIN NAME. I want to assure you all that in light of this incredible screw up the registration will not be through the previous Registrar. The NEW registration will be through ME so I can control all aspects of the registration. My company is set up for registrations and there is no cost affiliated as I said before the hosting and domain registration is my continued contribution to the future of our club.
I am posting this information because I want us to make a unified decision as to what our NEW web presence will be identified as. Please post your recommendations. Once we decide on a web name the site will be up in 24-48 hours.
Please accept my apologies for the above. I have been working diligently to resolve this with the OLD registrar and no kidding have spent endless hours with them telling me it was MY FAULT. Come to find as of YESTERDAY and talking with a SENIOR TECH this is the reason our site hasnt been functioning. This along with problems some of my other customers have experienced is why I no longer go through them for registrations.
One more FYI.. the company I used is a BIG Domain Name Registration company Register.com. So, I recommend that if any of you are using them I would switch to another company.
Please post your replies as to a new presence so I can have the site up ASAP!!!!!
Later,
Tony
