So this is only a halfway rant, considering it kind of worked out in my favor. I had hosting with Fatcow.com earlier last year. Decided against renewing it after my laptop started breaking down and I needed to save money for a new PC. So I cancelled the account. But for some reason they renewed my domain! Which I didn't find out about until today. I've had it for 5 months now, since it auto-renewed, and I haven't been using it at all! I've almost wasted away half a year now of a 1 year subscription. And I was initially pissed about it, but I didn't even notice the money was missing and as it turns out I could really use the domain for my the art portfolio I'm planning. So I guess it's good Fatcow renewed my domain, though I'm still a bit peeved that they didn't bother sending me a notice.

Protip about hosting companies: Make sure to turn off automated payments! Most of the time they put you on an automated payment system! Ive had this issue too. They should be sending you emails regarding everything they do in regards to your account, but I guess you're like me and it gets put into my spam folder without a second thought. :I

I should have, I just thought I had cancelled everything and didn't need to bother with automated payment settings. At least now I don't have to bother with registering a new domain. And haha, I probably have a couple dozen emails from them sitting in my spam folder.
