everything's OK now, almost
The good news: I have my domain name.
The bad news: I paid seanic to renew everything last night but this morning the whois database said the domain was available. I couldn't just register the domain without having an account even though, technically, I did have an account. But I couldn't find anywhere on seanic's website to log in as an existing user to register a domain or whatnot. I'd contacted OnlineNIC, the registrar, and they said I had to renew the domain through seanic or else create an account with OnlineNIC, which might have taken too long. So now I've paid for two accounts at seanic and I'm not certain they're under any obligation to cancel one of the accounts and give me a refund. I just didn't know what else to do. I didn't want to lose my domain. And, despite the fact that I've paid to renew my account, it looks like they might delete the files and I might have to re-upload all of them. But that's not too bad. The important thing is that I have my domain back. I'm pretty sure.
I keep trying to check the whois database but I keep getting a timeout error. Grr.
Edit:....oh my god. I have done something incredibly stupid. I have mistyped the domain name when I created the new account. I still can't get at my real domain name in the whois database. I just keep getting a timeout error. And seanic never e-mailed me about whether they're renewing my account. I hate this.
