However that URL was consistently down during the week in which I tried it repeatedly, and when contacting them by email I received no answer. When I finally managed to get a hold of them, several weeks later, my domain had lapsed and been replaced by an ad site, and it would cost me 150$ to buy it back. They would also not release it and let me transfer it to someone else. Either way, it's not as bad as it could have been, since I had not been updating my blog for about half a year before this happened, so I had lost most of the visitors anyway - being in Indonesia. Now I registered the domain with my webhost, site5.com, whose customer service I've been very happy with so far.
