How Do I Prevent this?
The best prevention is awareness. Check on your domains right now at DomainTools.com. Enter
your domain name and click “Search”. Seriously, I mean right now. It
takes a only a minute but can save you a world of pain.
The two most import pieces of information to look for after you enter
your domain at the “Expires” date and the “Whois Record”. If it’s
coming up anytime soon, make sure you renew it. Domains can be renewed
for multiple years – so put up the $7 extra and be safe for another
year. Mark your calendar to check it every quarter – it only takes a
minute.
If it’s not going to expire, make sure the Whois Record is correct. If
it is wrong, it could take a long time to get it fixed if you no longer
have your account information, so get started now.
That’s it for domains this week. We’re back to looking at website design basics next week.
As always, AllAccess has my “The Net Untangled Tip of the Day” each
weekday and a new column on Website Wednesdays. So check back and together
we’ll get our websites focused on keeping radio strong in this world of
increasing competition.
If you have any questions about radio websites – either general
questions relating to the industry or the web or even specific (HTML,
PHP, .NET, Javascript, etc.) questions, send me an email through
http://Preppermint.net/contact . I’ll answer your question quickly and
maybe even use it for a future column.
