Okay, this is a problem, but I don't think it's bad enough to go in WYP... I seriously don't understand domains, servers, and other things important to maintaining a website and I need help! I have a website (or did) which is basically just a blog with a domain that I purchased a year ago. It's hosted by Blogger, and I bought the domain from Google (Blogger's parent company). Back when I purchased the domain it cost only $12 for the year. Now the year is up and Google is saying that I have to pay $112 to re-instate my domain (I accidentally let it lapse because I didn't see the email from Google saying it was time to pay). Google is not explaining anywhere what the extra $100 is for, so I feel like I am maybe being bamboozled in some way... Can anyone provide some advice on this matter? I don't want to pay a whole $100 without knowing why I'm paying it. Does anyone else have their own domain? How do you host it and how much does it cost you?
Thank you in advance for your help!
