Mail Servers and DIY

[Michael Sammartano]

AH, I see.. That is the problem sometime when dealing with small registrars. I have used GoDaddy in the past, but I like 1and1 better. I still do not use them for DNS though as I hate the 1and1 interface. I am using zoneedit and aside from the occasional ip change I have not had any issues in 8+ years.. I wish you the best of luck. I would probrably set up the purchase of the domain through 1and1 immediately and let the the other account expire. As soon as it expires and 1and1 spots it (automagiclly) it will again be yours!!

If I may be of further assistance, do not hesitate to contact me..

Originally the domain, tontoapache.com was purchased through OnlineNIC who now 
refuses to answer phones, but today I got a hold of someone and he told me I 
need to talk to iPowerWeb as OnlineNIC can't do anything. I have an account 
with iPowerWeb but it does not let me do much with the DNS. I have an account 
with afraid.org for DNS if only I can move the nameservers with iPowerWeb. 
iPowerWeb is not responding to ANY of my calls or emails. So I got smart and 
emailed the billing department telling them my domain was about to expire and 
I really wanted to pay for it! and, of course, someone responded within 
minutes giving me all the information I needed to pay. I wrote back with a 
simple question, they responded confirming a real person, I wrote back 
telling them what I really wanted to do and once again, back to talking to a 
brick wall!

I have figured out how to make the changes with iPowerWeb, assuming they 
acknowledge my emails in the tech department, but at this point I am soooo 
pissed off, I want nothing to do with them. I want to transfer to 1&1 and 
stick with afraid.org for DNS.

But, today, all my email problems seem to be fixed as we are receiving email 
again...
