sounds scary....

and messy...

yes and yes!

on the plus side the change might make me invisible to spammers for a while...

if you enabled captcha's for your comments yet?

that stopped a LOT of my spammers

would try to help but you're more knowledgeable about such things

happy with current hosting company but they want $84 for next year. **Same** company will let me start a new one for $24.

I did the opposite route a few years ago (subdomain to a "main"(?) level domain)

acedanger: yeah I know what to do, it's just a little tedious is all.

oh crap! Who are you using?

yeah, that it is

Veronicad1: siteground.com. Again no complaints, I just gotta go max cheap.

I changed my config file to redirect to my new domain too

"config file?"

kidding

okay seriously

kidding!

er.

the best part is I have like three days before the old one auto-renews.

ha, right before Chrimmas (as they say in Memphis)

they don't lock me out when I tell 'em I'm not coming back

I would wait before you let that one go (twss?)

I should be okay. It's paid through Jan 7; I need to cancel so they don't auto-charge is all.

well with it

thanks

I hope you renew the domain name with godaddy, as they're cheap. We use hosting matters for our web hosts

$24 is cheap.

lemongrass: that's what I thought. No worries for another year

does that include the domain registration?

it would have, but I already had it done through 1and1.com because they offer free "private" reg.

ok, should you require to reduce the bill further, you could piggy-back on someone else's hosting, e.g. mine, for nothing.

lemongrass: thanks 2ManyBoyz' husband offered same.

this might encourage you to blog again....

well he'll have to test it, of course! Might as well actually *use* the thing.
