worried

So I tried to upload some pages to my site today, only to discover that it's down. Rarely, seanic.net has problems with the server, and everything's up and running again soon. I'm worried because I'm due to pay the bill for having it hosted with them some time this month. If they just try to bill my credit card with my old info, it won't work because I lost that card. When I first got my new card, I tried to give them my new billing info but they wouldn't let me - they said they'd contact me when the bill was due and I could give them the new info then. According to their TOS, I'm supposed to be notified a month in advance if they're going to take down my site due to non-payment.

OK, I had a nasty false alarm for a second that someone else had already registered my domain. But I'm still listed as the registrant but it looks like it expired on the 11th, though it says it's still unavailable. I just hope seanic.net replies to my e-mail soon.

...Well now I'm confused: reading more carefully, it looks like it was renewed and the company that's the Registrar has it till Feb 11, 2005 but it expired for me on Feb 11, 2004. But they specifically told me I couldn't pay them till they sent me an e-mail! Fucking hell. I have all my pages on my hard drive but I really don't want to lose my domain name. I don't know if this means the company owns it now and I'll have to pay them to get it back. I don't even care; I'll fucking pay them, I just want my site back.

Pancreas. Check out Weekend Web on Something Awful.

I'm feeling a little better now. Got me a Jamba Juice. I am a tool of corporate America. I know. At least it's not Starbucks. Anyway, the absolute worst that could happen is that I can't get my domain back and I'll have to get a new one and tell everyone who linked to me to change the URL. Which will be a pain in the ass. If that happens, it should probably coincide with the release of another comic, so I'll have something new to pimp the hell out of (no, I will not say "the hell out of which to pimp." You can only go so far in your grammar nerditry before people start throwing things), so a bunch of people will go to see the site anyway. I don't think it's likely that I'll lose the domain, though. I just might have to pay to renew it. I got it registered for free before, as part of the hosting package, so having to pay this time isn't so much of a big deal. I guess. It just freaks me out that my site's gone, even for a few days.
