As overall advice, I suggest keeping one's domain names and hosting provider separate, so that, in events like this, you don't have to fight to get your domain name back. Secondly, I'd also have a realistic view of what hosting costs for the space and bandwidth you get. Getting 500 GB+ of space with 1 TB of transfer for $10/month, as advertised by oversellers, for instance, is a ticket to finding yourself booted off for unwritten terms of "overuse" and finding yourself gravely disappointed. Some resources I'd personally suggest are webhostingtalk.com, which I find is a good place to research and ask questions. HostJury.com is also a good place to get reviews from actual customers of numerous hosts, and the owner of the site is very proactive about seeking out and eliminating reviews from hosts who try and cheat and give themselves glowing reviews. I obviously have no idea what the circumstances are regarding the Blender Materials site, so this isn't necessarily directed at the owner, but I think it's good advice for anyone looking to get a website!

They should have given a message first, if they really needed to close the site, they have no rights to keep that domain name! If the new site is a old backup, I do hope the host kept the site somewhere on their server with all the latest content. Is there no way to sue them or something? We're a big community, there should be some leverage. send them a lot of angry mails or something... what a bunch of twats!
