Recently, I heard the lovely story of a small business owner having a run-in with a corporate Web hosting and domain name company (the name of which we will withhold) in which the company failed to notify the owner that their domain name was going to expire.  They did not inform this struggling entrepreneur that when their domain name expires it will cost them at least $120 to renew the account and if they do not do so, it will take 90 days for the domain name to be released so they can purchase it again through another company.  You can imagine the frustration, especially when domains cost all of an average of $10.00/YEAR to keep.  And, with the economy the way it is, $120 for a small business is a decent chunk of cash.  Ridiculous stuff.

Now, MOST corporations do inform their customers of these types of changes and upcoming expiration…that is if they have the correct e-mail address.  If you’ve changed e-mails or for some reason the notification e-mail got tucked into your spam folder you may never receive the information you need to prevent an event like this happening.  So, what’s the best solution?  Hand over your hosting and domain name to your local, personable, cheaper media service company.  Of course this is where Revive Media Services comes in.  If you want the BEST service for your Web site with no hidden charges and a team that will make sure your site is taken care of without any of these ridiculous mishaps then give us a call today.  Let’s discuss the easier, smoother future of your hosting and domain maintenance.
