A friend of mine has written on another forum asking for help about a domain issue. Does anyone know how he stands for sorting this out?
I've just cut and pasted what he's written. Thanks
OK! about 5 year ago i used a local company for website/hosting/advertising etc but about 2 year ago had a bit of a falling out with the MD and went to another provider, all has been well ever since but couple of weeks ago decided to host everything on my company server to save money
this afternoon i realised that nobody had recived any emails at all today and thought our current host had cut us off or something (i had paid my bill) the lad called me back after i had left him a nice message and said that it had nothing to do with him but he had done a bit of fat finding and said it was the old/original provider that had "turned" things off and that the MD wanted £75 in cold hard cash to put it back on (if i see face to face he will get a slap)
so! contacted 123.com as they were the ones who i bought the domai off and they said that i own the site but that a mr X (whose address is the old provider) had to give me permision to get MY domain name back in my hands i.e. they took my money and registered it i my name but under there log in on 123.com, they want me to fax proof over and then ASK the MD if he would port it over to my log in me and him dont get on so thats just not going to happen
where do i stand with this 123.com as i clearly own the domain so why the **** dont they just let me have access to it? any tecnofreaks out there who can help
i got no emails or website
these are the domain details
Domain search - 123-reg orders
p.s the company is Calm Asylum (they a pile o ****)
