dragonlady7Well.
I got a tech support answer. Two, in fact, from the two separate places I applied for help.
The first one told me there was nothing to be done but wait five days ("should be 5 days", he said, which doesn't mean will be, which means absolutely nothing) and re-register when it is made available. Which means my site is down for five days and I have no precedence over domain squatters who may grab it for its good Google ranking.
The second one placidly pasted in the FAQ and told me to try logging in again.
Annoyed, desperate, i logged in again. And there was my account! There was my domain! There was the link to renew it!
Holy crap. Wasn't there last night or this morning. Was there now. Either he did something, or their system is hella flaky.
Turns out it's the latter, either way. I clicked "renew", put in my credit card info, hit 'submit', waited about two minutes.....
I got a hugely screwy error page.
They've confused the permissions for one of their important directories.
The credit card processing program cannot run.
Yeah. These people are MORONS. Fucktards, in fact. Holy shit.
So I took a screenshot of the error page and replied to the second tech support guy, and said "Uh. What does this page mean? Why won't you take my money? Why doesn't your site work? How do you face yourself in the mirror in the mornings? How are you not OUT OF BUSINESS?" Except I didn't write those last two sentences. Well, i did, but I deleted them.
Never, never, never, never, never give money to "PersonalNames". Never. Just don't. They have no idea what is their ass and what is a hole in the ground. Holy cow, I think I could put together a better domain name registrar if I coded the site by hand, and I don't know the first thing about PHP--- except that it is SUPPOSED TO WORK. They seem not to have read that part of the manual.
Jesus Christ, the world is full of IDIOTS.
So, to sum up, none of my pictures or links will work for a while until I find these people and WRING SOME SENSE INTO THEIR NECKS.
