Six months ago I bought the domain name www.sergetraylor.com through google apps. Still, I am yet to be able to get a site posted. Why? Well, it is not that the site is not created...it is. It is sitting on my hosting account's server waiting for a domain transfer to go through. You see, for about 3 months I have been trying to send my domain name from google (godaddy) to webhostingpad. Seemed like it would be simple enough. I read all of the instructions, followed them to a "t" - only to get denied. So I tried again - denied again. I called up godaddy and they mentioned that I needed to make my site public. This was never in any instructions.
So, now it has been 9 days since I changed that setting. I received an email to confirm the transfer...still nothing.
It is amazing how difficult these companies make it to do things that should be so simple. I am finding that if you are not someone who builds and manages sites everyday that you don't stand a chance in this world. That is too bad. Everyone has a site now and it seems that there should be tools available for anyone to get a site out on the web. Keep those web designers employed by those who want a professional looking site, but let someone like me be able to get my own site up within 3 months time.
Well, I have been talking around and found a friend who will host my site and also take care of the domain transfer. Sorry webhostingpad, looks like you just lost a customer for life.
Let's count the days until my site can go live...my bet is within 7. Check back soon.
