Title: Beach Boys Fan Club down Post by: Tony S on May 28, 2018, 06:31:55 AM Been trying to get in for the past couple of days, and the site is down....so going in directly to the message boards. Anybody know what's going on?
Title: Re: Beach Boys Fan Club down Post by: Emdeeh on May 28, 2018, 09:01:34 AM Looks like the domain name expired while we were out of town for the holiday, working on it now.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention, Tony. Title: Re: Beach Boys Fan Club down Post by: Emdeeh on May 28, 2018, 11:40:02 AM Someone -- NOT us -- snagged the domain, so I'm working on other options. Stay tuned for the new URL.
Title: Re: Beach Boys Fan Club down Post by: Beach Head on May 28, 2018, 01:01:26 PM Contrary to your assumption, your domain (beachboysfanclub.com) has NOT been snagged by somebody else. It did indeed expire on May 25, but it can still be renewed.
According to ICANN (which governs such things): "You should renew your domain name through the registrar (or reseller) that provided your domain name registration services. Once your domain has expired, it will be in Auto-Renew Grace Period (for 0-45 days), followed by a 30-day Redemption Grace Period." Call your registrar. You may have to pay a redemption fee in addition to the domain name's renewal fee, but you can easily get the domain during the next several weeks.

The ongoing problem has been that the original name owner vanished, and we've been unable to transfer it to the club. Title: Re: Beach Boys Fan Club back up Post by: Emdeeh on May 30, 2018, 06:36:26 PM BBFC is back up, with a new, slightly different, URL:
