    Don't know this offhand, unfortunately.

      They have a transfer procedure. Can't I transfer it to another registrar?

          Maybe their servers are just getting some maintenance. But the bigger question is if I need to get my domain out of evil Directnic. Will do the CNAME tomorrow.

            I think I'm figuring it out. Cross fingers. Directnic is a pain in the ass. Probably migrate off of that. Very hard to find the controls for DNS changes. And it seems to be unimportant enough that Google does not give explicit directions for it (as opposed to Go Daddy or the like)

              Grr...at this point, I'm more and more irked with Directnic. Considering:

              1. struggling through, learning something.
              2. transfer my domain to go daddy.
              3. Walk down the street to the little computer shop in an urban townhouse and just have them set me up front end to back end.

                reputable bulletproof domainhosting is a contradiction in terms

                  I use Dotster with gmail for a few domains, but Go Daddy is dirt cheap so I would probably use them with gmail if I were just starting out. I just use the free version of gmail, but given only a $50 fee per user per annum, wouldn't mind upgrading.

                  I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

                    Well, I talked to Directnic. They say I need to buy "DNS Pro" for an extra 5 bucks per year for CNAME ability. I don't mind paying that, really. Just irked at them. Wonder, if I should just trasnfer the domain or just pay someone to set it up. But I hear it is a pain to transfer the domain out of Directnic. I may just buy the Pro.

                      Well I talked to Richmond Computer Guy. It's 2000 bucks and they set up my website and get it all Google integrated and do some contacts and such. Not worth it to me at this stage (might be later of course).

                        That sounds abit expensive

                        What're you want your website to do? If it's just a simple informational website with a couple pages, I'd make it for you for $1900 (That's what, $1900/hr?)

                          You have to include the CNAME collaboration within the 1900!

                            That'll be $1905

                              CNAME for 5! (Take that, first.)

                              I bought the pro thingie...now I seem to be able to follow some of the Google directions. It is still not one for one (since Google doesn't know what is inside Directnic), but it's better. Now that I know all this stuff, maybe I should go for the big bucks and be an IT guy.

                                The IT guys who do this kind of stuff certainly do not make the big bucks.
