I Know It's Cruel...

But I can't help wishing them the worst.

Many moons ago, I used to teach a web design module at a college. Whenever I got to the lesson on registering domain names and web hosting [with accompanying "who to avoid like the plague" caveats], there would always be a few students who'd proudly announce they'd already registered a domain name and bought web space, in advance of the lesson.

My heart would sink because, 99% of the time, said domain name would have been registered with 123-Reg, or similar "Get a Domain Name and 25 Years Hosting for Only 99p!!!!!" Mickey Mouse operation and I knew I'd be spending most of my break and end-of-lesson time wrestling with their fucktarded Fisher Price "control panel", trying to configure DNS servers or <shudder!> upload a website via a browser based form.
