The old adage, "You learn something new every day" is
certainly true, isn't it?

How many articles have I read on renewing your domain name?

*On being so careful to get it done?

*On watching out for unscrupulous people who wait to pounce
on domain names that people forget to renew?

*On keeping your site up and running?

50? 100? I'm sure it's been at LEAST that many.

But what did I do? I let my domain name run out! Last
week you may have noticed you didn't receive a newsletter.
That's because I couldn't send you one!

My site was down for two days. How many visitors did I lose?
How many sales didn't get made? I'll never know.

No one likes to make mistakes, least of all me! But if
this article helps just one person, then hey - I don't mind
sharing all my mistakes! It's the only way to learn.
Just take my advice so you don't have to go through this,
too.

If your web hosting service does not provide notification
for you, and you don't remember when your registration
expires, visit http://www.betterwhois.com and you'll be
able to find out your expiration date.

To renew your domain name registration, just visit your
current web hosting service and RENEW! It only takes
a minute, and believe me - you'll be glad you did.
