Rookie mistake. Ugh.
So it might be obvious to most, but it's really simple to make a little error, especially when you're in a hurry or it's something you have done a thousand times before. When I first registered my email for the domain I used hotmail, which apparently frequently has issues receiving the verification email.. So I changed it to my gmail. And I was expecting, but never got, a verification to my gmail.
Fast forward to now, and I log in and no longer have access to dashboard, it routes to a 404 page, and my site reads a suspended status. I contacted site support, but just to be on the safe side, I went back and double checked my email.
One little letter. Instead of an "e", I had an "a".... my site got (temporarily, should be up 24-48 hours), suspended because I put in the wrong vowel.
Moral of the story, always double/triple check your entries, especially in emails where verification is necessary!

Definitely, and I was probably up late that night, so easy to make a mistake. Just glad it's something so easily resolved. I was already in contact with site support, and within 10 minutes after updating I had the verification email sent.
oh gosh. I came back and read the comment. I was running on like no sleep that night and it registered what you actually said. For some reason I don't think that's a typo, and I will have to remember that. My new favorite quote! XD
This wasn't a typo.. :D It is a saying here in Greece..
I am glad that you liked it man.
Thank you so much for the follow.
