so I had to contact support. they realised they goofed and sent the renew update. now I get to wait for it to propagate... just a wonderful start to 2012

Ya know, I heard about this one hoster, where you can call the server admin on the phone, and talk to him directly. I heard he's a ham too, and a pretty cool guy. You can PM Jeff about the details :)

well.. I have to go with the cost factor for now. and where i am at im getting a pretty good deal (domain is free as long as i host there and the bill aint to bad) if I ever get to where it generates enough cash. then im going dedicated.
