keep it together...

i am in the process of moving my domain name "thirdthoughts.com" from it's previous registrar, "register.com", to "1and1.com", who is my actual web host. what, you may ask, does this mean to you? hopefully nothing. except that you should no longer see http://www.s88752791.onlinehome.us in the address line of your browser anymore. the transfer usually takes 7-10 days and is actually a pretty formal process. being that i am the owner of the domain there isn't any transfer of ownership, it should be easier....i hope. there is a chance that this site could be temporarily down for awhile over the next couple of weeks while i sort all of this out. i will probably have to transfer my entire site via ftp to my new domain space. i haven't figured out the full impact yet, but i will no doubt have to do some tweaking to get this completed. for example, my current skip@thirdthoughts email address is with register so i'll have to set up an email address with 1 & 1. why am i going through all of this? the domain name is only $5.99 a year as opposed to $35 per year with register.com. so...this is just a warning that there may be some technical difficulties ahead until all of this transferring stuff is resolved.
