When I got the mail from Internic recently advising that the request to move bayhouse.com could not be completed, I was really glad. The site was by no means ready to be moved.
So I decided to wait with the acknowledgment until I was ready.
I was shocked when I found out that the domain was moved anyway two days later. It was a real bummer, because I didn't even have the login for the new account yet!
And that was a big problem because Smarthosting.com only had my E-mail at bayhouse.com, and I couldn't receive the mail at bayhouse.com, since it was already at Smarthosting.com. I didn't even think about that until they left a VM for me clueing me in.
As I just read the Internic notification again, I realized that my former web host must have acknowledged the move. So, the technical contact apparently still controls my domain.
Internic still has very OLD address and contact info for me. It's gotten easier to change things, those scary templates they used to have changed to usable forms. But I'm afraid to change anything, who knows what can of worms I open.
I'm aware that there are various ways to set up your domain with Internic so that the domain is more secure, but it's all so damn complicated. The last thing I need is more stuff to read and try'n remember.
I don't know why they can't use a simple password like my bank and my web host and everybody else!
Oh well, they've always lived by the motto:
Why make it simple when you can confuse someone!
Below is the InterNIC mailing for the newbie web hosts that always E-mail me. :)
Enjoy the lengthy LEGALESE. I haven't read it lately, but noticed THIS little excerpt just now:
"Registrant agrees that NSI, in its sole discretion, may change or modify the Dispute
Policy, incorporated by reference herein, at any time."
Yup, just like the rest of corporate. They can do what they want whenever they want and we have no choice but to accept it all.
I am aware of a lot of people still having major problems with their domains. But please don't E-mail me, there's nothing I can do. Please post here instead.
From the end of their mail: For instructions, please refer to: "http://rs.internic.net/help/instructions.txt"

> NSI's current Dispute Policy. The current version of the Dispute
> Policy may be found at the InterNIC Registration Services web site:
> "http://www.netsol.com/rs/dispute-policy.html".
>
> D. Dispute Policy Changes or Modifications. Registrant agrees
> that NSI, in its sole discretion, may change or modify the Dispute
> Policy, incorporated by reference herein, at any time. Registrant
> agrees that Registrant's maintaining the registration of a domain name
> after changes or modifications to the Dispute Policy become effective
> constitutes Registrant's continued acceptance of these changes or
> modifications. Registrant agrees that if Registrant considers any such
> changes or modifications to be unacceptable, Registrant may request
> that the domain name be deleted from the domain name database.
>
> E. Disputes. Registrant agrees that, if the registration of its
> domain name is challenged by any third party, the Registrant will be
> subject to the provisions specified in the Dispute Policy.
>
> F. Agents. Registrant agrees that if this Registration Agreement
> is completed by an agent for the Registrant, such as an ISP or
> Administrative Contact/Agent, the Registrant is nonetheless bound as a
> principal by all terms and conditions herein, including the Dispute
> Policy.
>
> G. Limitation of Liability. Registrant agrees that NSI shall have
> no liability to the Registrant for any loss Registrant may incur in
> connection with NSI's processing of this Registration Agreement, in
> connection with NSI's processing of any authorized modification to the
> domain name's record during the covered period, as a result of the
> Registrant's ISP's failure to pay either the initial registration fee
> or renewal fee, or as a result of the application of the provisions of
> the Dispute Policy. Registrant agrees that in no event shall the
> maximum liability of NSI under this Agreement for any matter exceed
> Five Hundred United States Dollars (US).
>
> H. Indemnity. Registrant agrees, in the event the Registration
> Agreement is accepted by NSI and a subsequent dispute arises with any
> third party, to indemnify and hold NSI harmless pursuant to the terms
> and conditions contained in the Dispute Policy.
>
> I. Breach. Registrant agrees that failure to abide by any
> provision of this Registration Agreement or the Dispute Policy may be
> considered by NSI to be a material breach and that NSI may provide a
> written notice, describing the breach, to the Registrant. If, within
> thirty (30) days of the date of mailing such notice, the Registrant
> fails to provide evidence, which is reasonably satisfactory to NSI,
> that it has not breached its obligations, then NSI may delete
> Registrant's registration of the domain name. Any such breach by a
> Registrant shall not be deemed to be excused simply because NSI did
> not act earlier in response to that, or any other, breach by the
> Registrant.
>
> J. No Guaranty. Registrant agrees that, by registration of a
> domain name, such registration does not confer immunity from objection
> to either the registration or use of the domain name.
>

> Agreement that, to the best of Registrant's knowledge and belief, the
> information submitted herein is true and correct, and that any future

> according to the domain name modification procedures in place at that
> time. Breach of this warranty will constitute a material breach.
>
> L. Revocation. Registrant agrees that NSI may delete a
> Registrant's domain name if this Registration Agreement, or subsequent
> modification(s) thereto, contains false or misleading information, or
> conceals or omits any information NSI would likely consider material
> to its decision to approve this Registration Agreement.
>
> M. Right of Refusal. NSI, in its sole discretion, reserves the
> right to refuse to approve the Registration Agreement for any
> Registrant. Registrant agrees that the submission of this Registration

> Registrant agrees that NSI shall not be liable for loss or damages
> that may result from NSI's refusal to accept this Registration
> Agreement.
>
> N. Severability. Registrant agrees that the terms of this
