Subject: FN-FORUM: Domain ownership issue



Hi folks,

I've got a bit of a situation here.

2 years ago I registered a domain - trainspotted.org - at the same
time as buying hosting for a small project of mine. I used a hosting
company called Apis Networks in the US - www.apisnetworks.com. No
problems for a year, but after the year was up I decided to renew the
domain and move the hosting elsewhere. Apis Networks gave me a
user/pass to log in to a control panel on some other domain
registration company's website (I can't remember the company), and I
did this and updated the nameservers to point to my new hosting (at
www.web-mania.com).

After a year of Web Mania, I've decided that even this small project
is worthy of something slightly less shite than the completely abysmal
service I've had from Web Mania. Problem is, how can I move my
hosting? I've no longer got the user/pass for that site that let me
update my domain's nameservers a year ago. And I'm not a customer of
the original hosting company who gave me those details. And all my
emails to Apisnetworks, and to the domain registration company I've
found by WHOIS-ing my domain, have been ignored.

Now I'm stuck with a domain that doesnt expire til 2007, no way to
administrate it or change the hosting, and a crap hosting company that
I wouldn't recommend to my worst enemy.

Any ideas on how to re-establish ownership of my domain and get access
to it again, so I can keep my project alive on a hosting package that
doesn't fall victim to a mass defacement attack through
badly-configured PHP and then tell me they don't make backups of their
customers sites?

Thanks in advance!

Tom
