AudioKinesis Cabs Part VI...

Maybe your domain company went out of business or migrated their domain names to another company to focus on other endeavors. I had my 10 domain names with HostBaby for several years until they transferred all their domain names and hosting to Bandzoogle. Not an improvement in my life but what can you do?

If you have proof of payment for another year you at least have your domain name secured for now. For now. :cautious:

I think this is what happened: Whoever is now hosting my website (used to be GoDaddy but apparently it's now Wild West) no longer supports the software that was used to create my website. So the fix will not be quick and easy, unfortunately, but it's in the pipeline.

Do a Google search for the top 10 domain hosting companies and you will be left with a feeling of weird sadness. They all have their detractors. I was furious that HostBaby discarded me like a piece of lint and transferred me to Bandzoogle, but after much Internet research there were no better alternatives.

So, I caved in and agreed to pay more per month to hold on to my dot coms with Bandzoogle. With HostBaby you could call them up and just ask questions and talk. To another human being. With Bandzoogle you must email them. They don't answer phones. Because no phone numbers are listed on their website. That's just the way it goes these days. :mad:

Yep...welcome to the 21st century.

On the other hand, I have been impressed and satisfied with BandZoogle's customer service email responses when I've contacted them.

(This from a guy who used to handle inbound customer service calls in a Fortune 100 company many moons ago.)

I think my website is back up now. That's the good news; the bad news is that my prices have gone up.

Any chance of resuming production of AK bass cabs in 2023? :woot:

Yes. I recently bought twelve sheets of lightweight plywood and will have the boards cut on a CNC machine which is more practical than me cutting everything by hand. So some time before 2023 I expect to start accepting orders for the Hathor and Changeling 112 cabs, but I can't promise that everything I once made will end up back on the menu.

Great news that your website is back up. I checked it out for myself. :) But the fact that your prices have gone up. Are you kidding? That is absolutely and totally.....

understandable.
