Renew your domain much earlier before it expired
Chinese domain owners lost about 10,000 domain names because of the earthquake that cut undersea cables off the coast of Taiwan last month, state-controlled media reported Friday. [Source via Sabahan]
The quake has disrupted the Asia to US internet connection, and some China webmasters were not able to renew their domain.
I actually shared not sympathy for them. Domain is the life and blood of the website and should be taken care properly… an expiring domain should be renewed at least a month before its expiry; personally I renewed mine at least 3 months before it expired.
If the quake has disrupted the internet connection for weeks or month, I will probably feel sorry for these webmasters… but for just a couple of weeks? They paid for their lesson.
