Literally playing blog entry post catch up over here, but this still needs a quick mention to everyone here since it is music operations related. So, during the course of late last month, I got word from my internal sources to check with my contacts that assisted me with ensuring our domain for this website would still be in action even after the Vimly Digital hosting services closed down way back in July of last year.
Thank heavens that I listened and followed my conscience because when I did so, I found out that the domain ownership itself was about to expire on the same day as our "anniversary day" itself for these music operations as a whole! If I didn't act fast to take care of this critical matter, the said domain name for this site would have literally been lost.
Thankfully, by the grace of God, the odds were in my favor on the finances end to immediately make contact with the former Vimly Digital folks that assisted me in getting this domain continued to point to this site hosted by AwardSpace; however, as of the date and time of this posting (techincally, it's as of 2/17/2023), the domain name service in relation to this site is now with the folks at Sav in which when the transfer of ownership was sent my way, I was able to see about renewing the domain itself for two more years.
So that's one major hurdle down; now the other angle that needs to be addressed over time is getting our hosting account upgraded to a "paid" status because according to the hosting administration with AwardSpace - only when the related account for this site gets to that status will the "restrictions" for it be finally lifted and more abilities will be granted to us for the management of the site itself. But I'll elaborate on this more another time.
Back to the "domain name" focus on this blog entry posting; I once again would like to thank the folks at the former Vimly Digital hosting services for stepping in to assist us with keeping the site domain URL in action even after I was notified about their shutdown plans and had to change site hosting services for a transfer to that new candidate as quickly as possible. We wish the former Vimly Digital folks the best in future endeavors.
That's all for now, everyone; take care until I see you all next time around. I'm out for now.
