following on from my thread here http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18377144

Basically I asked the man who made by website for access to it as I have a friend who does websites who will look at it for me and do some changes.

It took him 3 weeks to give me the info and when he did I do not have full access via filezilla to everything. Just some folder with nothing in it. So I believe he just gave me access to a certain part of my website with nothing in it. Via FTP

I bought the domain name from 123 reg. Then 2 months later I found this man to build me a website and I gave him access to my control panel in 123 reg so he could move my domain name and build the website and host it (via vidahost) £100 for 1 year (hosting and build)

I have access to the email account he set up via Ipswitch footholds horde. I can change the passwords on there so that is fine.

I message him last week telling him I do not have full access to everything on my website and he replied 5 days later with "I am looking into it"


I getting extremely fed up with his slowness, how can I take my domain back. On 'who-is' it shows my address as the registered keeper.


Also can I copy/save my website and files just by going on the website and saving it?

I do not mind my website being 'down' for a while, I can then sort hosting out myself.

Just need advice on how I can get my domain name back into my hands.


Thanks.
 
Hi. I shouldn't really post url here as could be counted as a business and I believe forum rules say you are not allowed business help? I could be wrong on that though.

I have access on 123 reg. I had a look last night and cannot find anything about my domain in my control panel so I think when I gave him access he moved it to somewhere else for hosting?

I will send you link via email.
 
yes just spoke with a guy at Nominet. Incredibly helpful man. I can get my domain name back very simply, gave him my details and he confirmed everything etc. Would just cost me £12 to get it back.

Will see if webmaster will give me all the details now I know I can take my domain name back so easily.

Thank you.


Now I presume when I do get my domain name back and put back into my account on 123 reg, I need to then look at someone/company who will be able to host my domain name and website.

Be nice if I can save everything from my website then just rehost with someone else and then I can make changes when I need too.
