We’re just going to come right out and say it; AwesomeStart.com has been renewed until 2016 – for ten more years!
Most of you in the United States, Europe, and seemingly every other place but Canada (how odd) experienced some downtime yesterday. We previously promised the end of downtime, and we did fix the bulk of that problem when we switched servers. For those of you interested in the technical end of it: Our old host still had control over our DNS for the .com, and a recent issue over there caused it to accidentally revert to their servers. After a few phone calls, it’s synchronized with our new hostingplex servers once again. To prevent this issue in the future, we’ve transfered the domain into our name so this will not happen again!
So why ten more years? Well, we wanted people to know we’re here to stay. AwesomeStart is going to get bigger and bigger every day. We’re constantly gaining new users, new designers, and more attention. We really love doing this site, and we wanted to promise our users that it’s going to stay here. You’ll never type in AwesomeStart.com and see one of those flakey, owner-must-have-forgot-to-renew-and-now-someone-else-stole-their-domain pages here.
There’s some other stuff going on, but back to work for now. More updates all this week!
