I tried to transfer the dot com from Domain Registry of Canada to Go Daddy but I got caught with very bad timing and my subscription had ended before the transfer was completed.

Fortunately, DROC’s customer server service allowed me to renew the dot com and gave me a price discount for the trouble. Ironically, the lowered yearly fee for the domain is still more expensive than Go Daddy’s (without including the Diggnation code). However, I’m just happy I didn’t lose The Music Tank’s branding which I have already worked 9 years on (no matter how successful it has been).

While registering on Go Daddy, I also purchased Francois Faubert.com as my portfolio’s domain name. It’s so cheap that it would be crazy for someone working full time in the web design business not to do it.

I guess it means I’m old enough now to assume my real name and not leave my online presence exclusively behind my accustomed “Fake” nickname.
