I’m Back.

Lost my domain, Lost my old posts, but I still had the theme. Better than nothing I guess.

Freaking 1&1.com turned my account off because of failed payment… how they seem to handle payments is, my domains were on auto renew. When payment time came around - my card failed (It had expired - I could handle the 15 dollars)… but rather than just not renew the domains like most registrars - I get a bill in the mail. 

In my head I’m thinking I’ll let them lapse and pick them up again when they expire with GoDaddy whom I usually buy from. But nope, when I ignored the bill, the payment went to collections. So weird. With most registrars, if you don’t renew your domain - you lose it - you don’t go to collections to pay back payment. And I still lost the domains so I wasn’t even paying for the domain names.

Now I have to deal with collections. I have two accounts with 1&1 and the same is happening with the second account now. I will never use them again.
