When I first became interested in making websites, I made a music website on Angelfire called TBM: Today's Best Music. Damn, was I original. Besides the music site, I made a couple of sites with some friends about other random things, but those all came and went pretty quickly. As I was slowly picking up bits of HTML, I was also getting sick of Angelfire's horrendously large ads which seemed to be growing by the day. Since I figured I was a seasoned "website person," I decided to take the leap and buy a domain and a small hosting package from E-Starr on November 19,2002.

The domain I bought, losing-myself.net, was yet another example of my amazing originality skills, since the domain name was clearly taken from an Eminem song. You may ask, "Eminem?!" Yes. Eminem. This is clearly a sign that I was super cool when I was younger. It was a personal site, and I hosted a few people, mainly friends, on subdomains. After nearly a year, the domain name was beginning to get on my nerves, so I went ahead and purchased another domain.

The domain, convicting.org, which I still use (That was me pointing out the obvious.) was purchased on July 29, 2003. I put together a layout that I thought was spectacular at the time, but would now probably spit at, up onto the site a few days later, August 1, 2003. About a month later I got the account changed into a reseller and began hosting domains.

Convicting.org, or C.ORG as I refer to it sometimes, has gone through it's share of hosting changes, with the current host, Surpass, being the 3rd. Like Losing-Myself.net, C.ORG was at first hosted by E-starr. After looking around a bit, I decided to switch to Rocksta. That decision, which seemed clever at the time, was a terrible one. There were lots of server problems, and eventually, the owner decided to stop renewing his subscription for the server I was on because there were so many problems. That makes sense. It just would've been nice if I were informed of the decision, which apparently, didn't affect me in any way. That was the last straw, so-to-speak, and within a day I had purchased a reseller account from Surpass. Ironically, the owner of Rocksta was actually the one who suggested Surpass. Evidently it was a good move, and my reseller has been hosted with Surpass ever since. If you're interested in buying a hosting or reseller package, I highly recommend them. They've got an awesome support team.
