Redirecting some old domains

A long time ago I created my first reseller account under bobbingwidetechsupport.com. I no longer need this site and will let the domain registration expire.

Ditto for bobbingwidewebdesign.com, where a lot of the content that was written between 2011 and 2015 is now obsolete.

There was nothing much of value to retain, but I have taken backups.

Update 21 November 2021.

The domains have now expired. Attempting to visit the sites will result in a This site can’t be reached error message. The nameservers have been switched to SUSPENDED1.PLAINDNS.NET
