[Web4lib] Reminder: Check The Expiration Date On Your Domain Name!

[Blake Carver]

Hi All,
I just posted a story to LISNews about The Ocean County Library (NJ)
losing their domain name to a squatter. I just want to remind as many
people as I can to check your domains.

I've seen this happen at least 6 times to LISHosted sites in the past
(Ocean County wasn't @LISHost). If you own your own domain name,
please be sure to check and make sure it's not going to expire any
time soon!

I hate to see this happen to anyone, and it's especially bad when it
happens to a library. Be sure your organization knows who is
responsible for your domain name and they're aware of important dates!

>From The Article:
"Unbeknownst" to the library, the domain name expired Aug. 31,
according to Matteo. "I didn't get the renewal notices," she said.
