Yes, as I've mentioned in another thread, there's an issue with my webhost's online payment system, so they suspended my account for non-payment. It's crazy, it's only about US$144 and I just can't get their software to accept my card. I've reached out to them and I'm still waiting for them to reply.

If I was paranoid I might suspect them of manufacturing the problem as an excuse to ditch my site, either because of censorship or because they now want to concentrate on businesses rather than personal users.

If they can't resolve the issue I'll ask them to release control of the domain name so I can get a new host, or failing that I'll just have to register a new domain - I've seen a few relatively inexpensive ones that would do nicely. Either way, rebuilding the site would take time due to the thousands of files that would need to be reuploaded and all of the internal links that'd need checking, but I'm determined to get back up and running one way or another.

In the meanitime, I'll be posting any status updates on Xwitter at https://x.com/leem10538 .
