My apologies to all who were inconvenienced by the recent problem with our website. One of the reasons we’ve done so many innovative things at this registry is that we aren’t afraid to try things on our own. If every time we had an idea we had to wait for funding or an outside expert, we wouldn’t get much accomplished. By tackling projects in house with free or reasonably priced resources, we’ve produced results. The downside to this approach is that you sometimes make beginner mistakes. That’s kind of what happened with our website this past week. I simply forgot to renew the registration on our domain name and the company hosting it just shut it off. Usually, you get bombarded with renewal notices beforehand but in this case we did not receive a single one. Still, that doesn’t excuse the sloppiness on my part. I’ll spend the next few days scrutinizing the operation of our website so that this or anything like this doesn’t happen again. But no one is perfect, so be sure to remember the alternate route to our database - go to
www.masslandrecords.com and select Middlesex North from the drop down menu. Until another disaster occurs, however, please continue to access our records through
www.lowelldeeds.com so that you will discover the new content and features that will soon be added to the site.
