 My host is okay. It's the domain name servers that irk me.

 I'm being shafted by a DNS because they would spam me or sell my email 
addy(dunno which). Even though I paid for a private registration. I kept 
creating new email addresses, trying to out run the spammers. I didn't know 
how these spamers were getting my email address until I decided to create 
email addresses for each vendor's NAME I dealt with.
 When the spams began anew at that email address, I could see in the name 
(NAME at my site.com) where it came from
  Three times in the past two years, I've written webmaster at The Bad Guy.com 
told them I was forwarding all the email to the email address they had on 
file to webmaster at tThe Bad Guy.com . The spam stopped!

 There IS power from a keyboard!

 The latest kick in the "sit down part" is when, because of the spam, I 
removed the email address from my server that I  gave to the DNS.
 Then, when the registration had expired, I did not get the notification. 
Therefore, I didn't re-register it in time to get it transferred.

 If this happens, your domain name belongs to the DNS until you re-register 
it through that same DNS. So you are stuck with that DNS.

 I missed my opportunity to register that domain with another DNS. I can 
still transfer it, but it will cost me the whole year.. AGAIN!


HECK!!

 email me direct if you want the name of this DNS..
