After Dump GoDaddy Day

I finally got confirmation of one domain successfully transferred over to my new registrar. One more domain to go. I’m leaving this domain with GoDaddy for now. I’ve also cancelled my hosting account and moved back to my old host, Hostmonster. They had a good deal during the holidays at $3.95 per month, so I signed up for 2 years. Of course if I cancel early, they will refund the amount for the unused time.

This is the first time I’m transferring domains. It’s easy but in my case I had paid for privacy information. If you have this, there are additional steps you have to take. It was a little headache at first but I just didn’t want to keep most of my stuff with GoDaddy.

My new registrar is Namecheap. We’ll see how they are. I’ve read mixed reviews so I’m not comfortable moving this domain to them yet.

    I’ve always wondered how people made their links something like http://mydomain.com/this/is/my/page/and-this-is-the-title URL format. Well it’s the permalink option on WordPress. You will need mod_rewrite module for Apache as well. I don’t think it’s a module that preinstalled in Apache. So I got a hold of tech support for my host provider. They told me that…
