Domain names and them some!
Even though my server is now at Dedibox, I have kept all my domain names registered at OVH, as Dedibox don’t offer the service of buying or registering domains, they only offer you dns servers for the domain names that you have already bought and own somewhere else. As OVH’s dns servers seem to work fine, I didn’t see any point in transfering them to somewhere else. Unfortunately last month there was a problem with a refused payment dating from back in May, and OVH turned off my account with no warning! Cutting all access to the manager, the support, the domain settings, and so on! What bastards!
They cound have at least given me some notice, a warning, and a chance to rectify the problem! But no, they just turned off the account without saying a word. It took just under 2 weeks of harassing the support, by any means possible, emails, telephone calls, even another account to get access to the support form, and so on before I could get a proper reply as to why they’d cut me off. On the telephone they were no help, in fact giving me completely wrong information! In the end somebody replied with something usefull, and about 2 weeks later, I managed to get my account back on, with a bit more fighting, as even once I’d payed the bill in question that had been bounced, they still hadn’t turned the account back on, so I had to complain to the support a few more times to get them to do it! I’m gald it’s all over anyway, as it’d kill me to loose my domain names, already been through that once, never again!
But anyway, by the time I got my account back, about 6 of my domain names had expired. Sod’s law isn’t it, they would cut your account off just as you’re going to renew some of the domains! I did manage to get them all back though, except one, sillyproject.eu, which for some reason it won’t let me reregister, but that’s no great loss, I’m happy that everythings back to normal now. As I was renewing my various domain names, I thought I’d take the opportinity to snap up some new ones, so I am now the proud owner of 38 domain names, lol!
Here is the list of the domain names I own at the moment …

That’s quite a list isn’t it, lol. There’s some quite good ones in there too. Most of them just redirect to danielclayton.com though, until I find a better use for them anyway. You can make some pretty cool email addresses with those domain names as well, lol. It’s nice that i got back some of my old domain names that I’d given up a while back too, like sillynoodlz and xr4iproject. I just wish I could get sillynoodlz.com back, but some domain selling company got to it before I could and are asking some really stupid price for it, so that’s that really, not much I can do about that unfortunately …
