So I decided to move www.thirdprize.org from GoDaddy to NetCetera when my original hosting expired. GoDaddy doen not support MVC4 and I fancied learning it. They had it locked so the original attempt to transfer the domain failed. I unlocked it, did the paperwork and tried again. This time it seemed to work and my URL started to point at my newly created, newly hosted web site. I used it quite happily for about a month, even rewriting my apps to use it to retrieve data.
So you can imagine my suprise when on the day of the original expiration, my URL started to point to a GoDaddy holding page. It seems the original transfer did not go through and I had to initiate it all over again. This meant my website and my apps were out of order for a good day or so.
As of time of writing, either the apps are working or the web site is working. Not both at the same time.
So, moral of the story? Always make sure your transfere went through successfully, even if it looks like it has.
