Is it worth it?

It seems Terrelldailyphoto.com has been stolen from under me. I thought it was strange when I checked my recent visitors this morning that I had two from Googlebot.com one at 6:10am this morning, the exact time my page went away.

This morning after posting my pictures, my site disappeared. I tried google help, I was told I needed to make changes to my DNS. That didn't work because I couldn't find where to make the change. I had no clue.

I paid for a year through google apps in December for my domain name. I have an order number and my credit card sure was charged. Google hasn't helped, Go Daddy customer service is a POS.

Old Hyde, a helpful CDP posted the whois info for my site. Its listed below.

With the above info I contact Go Daddy, but since my credit card isn't the one of record they couldn't tell me anything, they said I wasn't authorized. They said I needed a PIN number. Where do I get a pin number? They didn't know. Bull F'n Shit. I am getting more pissed as I type.

So, I have changed back to the blogspot address. We will see how long this goes. Not sure its worth it. You try to do something that people will like and someone comes along an screws you. Figures.
