Word of advice if you own a domain name...

...and you want to keep it, ensure your host has paid the registrar their fee and not "forgotten" about it.

Some little **** in Sarasota, FL now owns ours and wants several grand for it. Of course our host is ganna pay to get it back, but if yours isn't so moral then watch your back.

Can you recommend a good company?

for what? Hosting? Before this episode I would have recommended ours to the Pope

interesting idea.

but it was a .com and as such is handled by the US registrar(s) and it's a pain in the arse to deal with them from here
