Well, I’ve reupped through my service provider (ipowerweb.com) for another three years because of the ‘deal’ I would get for three years instead of just one and how close I was (last warning) of an expired domain.  So I have three more years of this domain through ipowerweb.  I really am questioning my decision as I could get better service and a better price at bluehost or other web hosts but I really am just kind of a loyal person.  With ipowerweb I’m getting less space then I would at another provider for how much I’m paying as well as I’m paying 70 bucks a year.

Anyway, I can afford it, and it saves me having to back up everything and move over to a new host and it also prevented a domain camper from getting my domain name and then trying to hold the name ransom from me.  I’m not exactly sure how ipowerweb holds it over you that they re-up your domain name for you.  I imagine it’s as bad as it sounds and that if I find a better service and want to switch over after a year or two they will try and hold the domain name ransom as well.

I’ll probably be just as happy using them, as I’ve never had any down time at all with them and never seen any shady business thus far for the three+ years I’ve used them already.  So, the real conclusion here is that I have another three years of service ahead of me, which is good news because I don’t have to think about it until 2010 when Bush will be out of the presidency … I hope.

Carl.
