A long time ago, when I created Peoria Pundit, it was called Bill’s Content. I hosted the site with a crappy company called Affordable Host. I later changed the name of the site, started using the name Peoria Pundit, and moved the entire mess over to A Small Orange. Affordable Host was run by morons, while the good folks at ASO have been great.

Unfortunately, I left my domain name registration at Affordable Host, which was later purchased by DotCanada.com. Apparently, this is a case of one group of idiots buying out another. No matter how many times I’ve told these morons to start sending me billing information to an email address that I actually can still use, they absolutely insist on sending it to one I do not have any access to anymore since I’ve moved three times and switched ISP’s twice.

Well, today my domain name registration lapsed. Apparently, it lapsed after DotCanada’s billing department went home for the day. All of them. And no one answering phones in the tech support department has any access to any information at all except what number I should call tomorrow. And judging from their attitudes, it was a huge inconvenience to talk to me, too.

Funny, I thought the Internet was open 24/7. Silly me.

Which means PeoriaPundit.com is sick in bed with the I’m-doing-business-with-a-bunch-of-idiots flu until sometime after 8 a.m. tomorrow when the oh-so-important billing department opens.

I may record the call and play it for my readers’ amusement. But then this is a family blog.

    [...] Then my site went dark. DotCanada/DotAmerica once again neglected to send me a bill to renew my domain (I knew that renewal was coming up). They redirected the domain to some advertising, then left for the day and was unreachable for instructions on how to renew electronically. The whole mess is available here. [...]
