Seems things are really out of my hand right now.
I just had a talk with sysop at my web host, and he simply refused to
take the site down!!!
So no matter what I do, it seems Musica Viva will stay online at least
until it's time to re-register the domain name (and that's not until
September 2003).
The site is down right now because of that domain name trouble, but that
shouldn't take long to fix.
A few very important question here:
Like any law-abiding citizen I pay my bills to my domain name registrar
every year, right on time. Then, for the second year in a row, the
registrar messes up the renweal, causing my site to drop out.
Has anybody had any experience with such a situation? What is my legal
position? Can I sue them? If I can can, for how much?
Active ISP is Europe's largest domain name registrar. What can I do to
ruin their reputation so thoroughly they never ever see buiness again?
But you maintain the site ? Just go in there, rm -r * and replace
with a page, er, explaining the situation ? Being very careful not to say
anything that could be considered libellous, Of Course.
You have my sympathy, Frank, you really do. It's not _entirely_ a
thankless task running a good website, but it doesn't need much to go
wrong before you can feel it's not worth it.
A good deed never goes unpunished, someone told me once.
And it's only a few days since I went there, wondering if I could check
the notes of Dowland's Mistress Winters' Jump, which I've been learning
from a local melodeon player (!!). Intriguing title, good tune.
