The Phantom Writers Is Back From The Dead

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) May 20, 2009 -- The Phantom Writers article marketing service, located in Stillwater Oklahoma, and in business since 2001, was knocked offline for 16 days, due to a domain registrar gone bad...

But after a long, difficult sixteen days, of being inaccessible to its customers, http://www.thephantomwriters.com/ is back online and operating at full steam ahead.

Bill Platt, the owner of The Phantom Writers, has documented the full story here: http://article-blog.thephantomwriters.com/the-phantom-writers-is-back-from-the-dead/2009/05/17/

All of his trouble began when he went to update his website's DNS settings at his domain registrar and his registrar was unable to process the update for him. His registrar had lost its accreditation and thus the ability to make any changes to his domain name records. So, The Phantom Writers went offline and remained offline until ICANN transferred his domain management to another ICANN-certified domain name registrar.

Platt's story is not all that uncommon... Bill said that several of his regular customers shared similar horror stories with him, when they had learned of his troubles...

The story of Bill Platt's domain troubles even reached the domain industry press, via the website, Domain Name Wire, at: http://domainnamewire.com/2009/05/18/6-signs-your-domain-registrar-is-going-defunct/

The story of the unanticipated absence of ThePhantomWriters.com is a cautionary tale that brings with it lessons to be observed by all domain name holders, concerning how to protect a website from the sudden and unexpected disappearance, experienced by Bill Platt and the more than three dozen websites he manages.
