Where are that hosting company based? That kind of lark is not on - if the domain is yours you are entitled to have control over it.

ballooba · 15-02-2003 2:40pm

Sorry blacknight, but I already got a new host (365) and they are looking after me well.

Good sell though.

The old hosts were based in Bronx, NY.

I wasn't trying to sell :-)
We had a similar problem with one of our clients who had registered a domain through a NEtSol reseller - it took us about 3 months of emails, faxes, phonecalls and headaches to get it all sorted out....

ballooba · 15-02-2003 3:13pm

I sent them round three emails, rang a couple of times and they said I had the wrong number.

I couldn't be bothered anymore, It will sort itself out when every time someone searches for their company they get that message.

They shouldn't have done it in the first place a sfar as I'm concerned. It's highly unethical.

You should contact Dot Registrar directly and explain your situation. Although it would be difficult to prove that you actually ordered the domain from the old host unless you have a receipt. They might give you access to the API for client's so you can change the contact details then.

Dot Registrar aren't the problem, they seem to have been quite helpful. i.e. as helpful as they legally can. Point is I couldn't be bothered wasting my time on this. It's 10hosting's problem so they can sort it out.

I have a feeling this solution will be very effective, we haven't advertised that name yet .... much.

ballooba · 18-02-2003 6:25pm

Just an update....

That solution proved to be extremely effective. Sent them an email yesterday that the page was there.

I now have access to the name and should be able to use it by the end of the week.

For anyone that didn't read this thread b4 I got it back, the content of the page is now changed because they complied

Didn't want to air our dirty laundry in public but that's what it came down to. Only about 200 people saw the message anyway.

I got the transfer confirmation about five mins ago.

Soz - but for those of us who just saw this thread now - what just went on?

It looked interesting
