URL hiccup

Where should I start? I'll start with the good news: the beezoo URL is

slightly changed: www.beezoos.com

What happened? I bought my URL few months ago (www.mybeezoo.com) from Yahoo

Small Business. I got two confirmation e-mails and I moved on to work on my basic

communication materials for beezoo. I checked my URL few times within the past

5 months just to make sure ... you know the feeling.

Then, I got so deep into the work, I did not check my URL anymore ... I was

sure nothing happened in the meantime. Wrong! My web designer checked my

URL two days ago and she sent me an IM asking me what did I do with my website

... I was surprised. I said: “nothing … what do you mean? soon the website will

be up”. Then I went on-line to check ... Long story short: my URL was no longer

my URL. What I did not know, was that Yahoo SB sent me an e-mail in the

meantime saying that the payment could not be processed (I still don’t know

why) and therefore, if I still want this URL I have to buy it (again). I haven't

seen this e-mail when they sent it, and therefore I found out yesterday that 3

days ago somebody from Germany

registered "my URL" (mybeezoo.com).

So, I said I thought of something nasty related to Yahoo SB and moved on to

secure my "new" URL (obviously, from another domain registration

website).
