So what was the deal? (Score: 1) by zafiro17@pipedot.org on 2014-07-09 18:11 (#2D6) Wondering what happened? Offhand, I'm imagining:guy forgot to renew his domain nameDoteasy stopped it, canceled it, whateverGuy tries to get the name backDoteasy requires some ridiculous, expensive "reactivation" processGuy decides, fuck it, I'll just buy the DotOrg and be done with it.I used Doteasy back in the day. Free Hosting (OK, but you pay like $25/yr for the domain name, so that's where they're making their money). It was no hassles. Pleasantly surprised to see a site i read fairly regularly was also housed at the same provider. Granted, I never used whois/dig to check it out.
