Well. Huh.
I just got in touch with my web hosting service and found out that since I had not contacted them within 7 days of getting their e-mail, they not only suspended my accounts... they deleted them. O_O I back up fairly excessively, but I think the last time I backed anything up was a month or three ago. I'm just not sure. *sigh*
So, what does this mean? It means that Serverpoint has successfully severed my connection to them. Both my domains are still registered to them (and I will hold on to them for when things get better), but I'm not going to go ahead and sign up for new accounts at this time. I am going to shop around and see if I can find cheaper hosting, though. I'm sure it must exist.
However, until such a time as I can find such a place, chibis.net and hairfanfiction.net are, for all intents and purposes, dead in the water. Or the internet, as the case may be.
*sigh* This is annoying. And frustrating. But let's face it... who really reads my fanfiction off my website, anyway?
I can't wait until I have income again. :(
Update: So, I looked into starting a community on Livejournal to host my fanfiction. Turns out, it's free. I like free. I really do. ^_^ Especially, now. So, for anyone interested, you can find the "new chibis.net" over at http://rchan_fic.livejournal.com. I'm going to sloooooowly start posting all the old stuff over there, then transferring the rest of my newer fanfiction, too. I'll probably continue to double post (at least for a little while), but head on over and join up and we'll see how well this format serves us, OK? ^_^
If I like how things are working out then I will eventually transfer all my fic posting over to the community and probably lock up my personal journal under a friends-only tag for personal ranting. I've been meaning to do that for a while, actually. Eh. One thing at a time. ^_^
