Please excuse the following rant about internet domains and email services. Just had to write this all down...
Last Friday, I head out of town for 3 days with my wife for fun and family time at the Indiana Dunes.
I ignored the internet and email until Friday afternoon when I signed in and noticed that the number of emails I normally receive is down by about 80%.
The night before, I received an email from Yahoo, whom I had used to originally set up my domain as an add-on to my email, informing me that that where upgrading their service and nothing would change (except the price was going up).
I bought the ScLoHo.net domain in 2004 through Yahoo then in 2007 switched to Google to manage and run ScLoHo.net.
My relaxing vacation turned very unrelaxing as I discovered that my email was stuck in Yahooland and finally I did a forwarding patch so email would arrive in my inbox.
Sunday night, back at home, I checked around and looked for a solution to this mess and wrote to a few companies including Yahoo. Finally Monday I got things back to a workable solution and reduced my costs by a few hundred bucks.
I pity the person that has to do all this on their own and is completely clueless, or has to pay big bucks for a professional to try and fix these things.
Okay, I feel better now. There are much more important things in life.
