Sorry, been watching Cool Runnings. ^_^;;

Anyhoo, as to why I own 2 Inuyasha domains. It's 
really quite simple if not a looong explaination.

I got Shippou.com free from Namezero over a year 
ago, but their crappy frames disrupted the whole 
layout of my site. So I paid $20 for them to take 
it off and give me "ownership" of my domain.

Fastforward to a year later. My domain 
registration period was nearly over and Namezero 
had upped their prices HORRENDOUSLY. I could 
POSITIVELY not afford their new prices which had 
nearly doubled. I'm not going to pay $30+ for a 
simple redirect service. So I bought Naraku.com 
for $8.

Now, this would've been all good and well, but I 
spent a good year pimping my Shippou.com site. 
Everyone who had links to my site had them to 
Shippou.com. I dunno about you, but I hate 
getting emails from people who's links change. I 
hate updating links. It's incredibly annoying.

So I looked into transferring Shippou.com (which 
was so close to deadline to me losing it 
permanently). Namezero (who I now hate with a 
passion) took over a month to get back to me to 
tell me that I "had not been registered with them 
for 60 days" and were denying my request to 
transfer my domain (to a provider that only 
charges $8, not $30) even tho I've been with them 
over a year. Not only had their denile of my 
request cost me precious time, but money.

Well, I managed to get it transferred (after some 
nasty emailing to Namezero) within 1 WEEK of my 
contract ending. Close call. But now Namezero is 
STILL redirecting anyone who comes to Shippou.com 
(despite the fact that my contract ended with 
them over a week ago), but they insist 
on "extending their services" so I have time to 
pay them to keep my domain. I have NO idea what's 
going to happen when they decide to stop 
extending their services despite the fact that I 
already have set Shippou.com to automatically 
redirect to Naraku.com on my side of the web.

So... extremely long story short: I don't want 
people to be horribly lost as to where my site is 
just because Namezero is a crappy company. -_-;;
