Their behavior makes Clojure look unprofessional, or even hacked, and is confusing to users trying to reach the page. It's pretty standard behavior for domain registrars. I manage a lot of domains for clients and things like this happen from time to time. A local hosting company _just_ notified me that the credit cards they have on file expired for a couple of sites (one of them expired nearly three years ago!) so I'm working with them - and the clients - to get updated credit card information and reinstate hosting. If they'd given me advance warning (like most hosting companies do most of the time), I would have had time to get everything updated before we had problems. Generally, that hosting company is pretty good about that. As Stuart said, this is just one of those little glitches that happens from time to time.

Renewing the domain registration *before* it expires in future would be a start; and using a registrar that won't play dirty tricks and will just give a clean Host Unknown error page for nonexistent domains. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Clojure group.
