Optical4less reborn - OPTICAL4LESS.NET

After the domain down for about 4-5 hours. I published an alternate domains : optical4u.com and register a new domain http://OPTICAL4LESS.NET

After discussed with my staffs we decided to use optical4less.net as our new/backup domain. And prepare to announce to all O4Lers in case we cannot retrive our originial domain within 5 days.

Optical4less will continue to serve the best to O4Lers. And we'll keep improving our service!
No! It won't stop us!

Optical4less.com. What's going on?

The time was 02:00am 4th Jan-2007. I was working in front of my computer as usual. Yea, I already get used to work at night since I started optical4less . I was checking yesterday's optical4less site log. Suddenly. The most terrible thing in the world happened :

It is a nightmare! Domain optical4less.com suddenly expired! What happened?
As I remember half years ago. I paid 10 years of renewal fee (yes 10 YEARS!) to my domain name service provider REGISTERFLY.COM extend my domain name until 2016-1-4.

I quickly checked whois.sc. It shows that the whois info of optical4less.com has been updated. Someone changed the expire date to 2007-1-4!

In the mean time I was trying to contact REGISTERFLY.COM to understand what was happening.
After 2 hours of clicking their '24 horus live chat' I finally got an agent to serve me - 'Mike'
Another half hour waiting he said another company , their previous Registrar ENOM.com is holding it and he claims that the renewal server is down for maintaince. !? And told me to contact him again after 24 hours....
After 24 hours I contacted Mike again and guess what? He repeated what he said .... another 24 hours down for maintaince...
And now. 3 days after. I couldn't even connect their 'live chat' anymore....

It was sad enough and I feel totally hopeless. In the next 48 hours after the domian expired I could not sleep.
I kept finding ways to fix it and keep sending emails / creating support tickets to let registerfly know about my problem .

But the main point is. I still have no idea what's happening to optical4less.com! May be I'm too stupid to use registerfly.com.....

After 3 years of smooth, fast growing business. Looks like we are going to lose the domain name optical4less.com forever....

Intro...

After being an 'internet guy' for more than 7 years. My first blog is being created.
And sadly. I didn't expected it was created under this situation.

I born in hong kong and not an english speaker . So please forgive my bad english.

Optical4less was started in 2003 , when I was 23 years old.
After 3 years of operating , Night by night of updating web site features, day by day fighting with hackers...etc. Optical4less expand from one staff(me) into now a 17- men company.

Everytime when we reach a high record of sales. Bad things happen...
DoS , hacking , network down ... and this time.... domain expired!
