Here's a pickle for ya -
My web hosting company (Liverack) seems to have gone completely dead in the last 24 hours. Not only is my web site (thebluebeyond.net) down, but Liverack's own home page is dead, and has been since yesterday afternoon.
They've been flaky in certain regards for the last year, and now I'm afraid they've just vanished. Obviously, I'll give it a couple more days, but it's odd for a web hosting company to be down for that long.
Now here's what's got me worried, and I'm wondering if any of you web-savvy folks out there has had experience with this: If Liverack is gone, what happens with my domain name that was registered through them? I recently renewed it through the middle of 2009, and I don't want to lose it.
I did a whois on my domain, and got this:
So Liverack registered my domain through Enom. But I'm betting Enom won't let me transfer that domain to a new IP address if I move my site elsewhere, huh? I mean, Enom doesn't know me from Adam. They'd need permission from Liverack, I'm guessing. And that "clientTransferProhibited" thing looks sort of ominous.
Does that mean my domain is held hostage?
Just wondering if any of you folks has had to deal with this sort of annoyance before.
