WEBmikey crisis

Last night my dad (head of Quality Assurance for WEBmikey) called me because my site was completely different! He was worried because he didn't know what he was seeing, but I soon guessed that he was seeing a domain placeholder page - my hosting provider hadn't renewed my domain name. I was kind of upset, since it's weird for something you've been writing for six years to be unavailable on the web - it's funny how this silly website is a part of me now. It was probably down for about 12 hours, mostly at night. Anyway, I sent a support request to my provider, and it's all straightened out now (if it weren't, you wouldn't be reading this). I guess there was something wrong in their billing system that wasn't putting the order through, even though I paid for it. I was worried that someone might buy my domain name from under my nose, but now I've learned that there's a 30-day period where it's locked after expiration, so that's really wasn't a concern. I'm just glad to have WEBmikey back again (and my dad is, too)!
