Favorite Floral Collage and the Domain Dilemma Continues!

This is one of my favorite collages.

A collection of just a few of the flower photos I've taken over the years.

That part of this post makes me smile.😂

Unfortunately, the second part doesn't.

And my apologies for yet another domain name related rant here. 

I am SO tired of this ongoing issue that I thought was finally getting settled this month. That hasn't happened.😣

When I checked for the 

myreallifereviews.com

domain name that I wanted to go back to this month, turns out some domain company has bought it up in the meantime. Now, it won't be available again for ANOTHER year!! 

To say I was surprised and mad when I found out about this is putting it mildly. 

So now I'm debating what to do. 

I really don't want to revert back to a blogspot  domain but I can't waste anymore time with all this. 

As it is, I will have lots of work changing links in my eBooks, sites, this blog...but I wouldn't have to put up with lousy domain providers like Namecheap anymore. The company that caused all these problems to begin with.

So, for now, 

myreallifereviews.xyz 

will work, but if and when I transition back to NO custom domain, I will be blogging at,

myreallifereviews.blogspot.com

What I've learned from this experience and the advice I can pass on.... choose a domain provider VERY carefully (read lots of recent reviews at several different sites)and check their BBB rating. 

And most of all, stay away from 

NAMECHEAP

The domain provider that has caused me all these problems and wasted HOURS and hours of my time. 

Buyer beware!!

My NameCheap Nightmare!!!

NameCheap, What Happened???

How does a company go downhill SO FAST??? 😠

I have been using NameCheap as my domain provider for my two blogs, for many years. 

Up until recently, they have provided acceptable and at times, even excellent service. That unfortunately has all changed.

With my recent email switchover from MYWAY (now out of business) to GMAIL, in Sept. and Oct. I had hundreds of email updates to complete. Most of them went without a glitch and took a few minutes each to complete. 

Not so with NameCheap! 

As of today, I have been trying for over 3 weeks to complete what should have been an easy email update with them. 

They seem to have a glitch at their end, not allowing my (and probably for lots of other people) a GMAIL account to be used as my new email address with them.

Their support staff refuses to acknowledge this glitch at their end and keep telling me to go through the same useless steps, over and over and over!!!

You read that correctly, WEEKS to update an email address!!! 

And it's still not done.

You can read my complete update here and also note my rating for NameCheap which I previously had at 5 out of 5. They have now slipped to a 1 out of 5. 

Speaking of 1, I also noted that at the Better Business Bureau, their current rating is also a 1, F!!!! That I'm not surprised by either.
                                              

If you are looking for a domain provider, hosting service....BEWARE!!! 😠
