Help with a domain registration

Lagmeister · 27 Jan 2008 at 14:17

Basically, my web host went under for a while and disappeared off the edge of the world, not a problem I thought, I would just wait for my domain registration to expire it was only about a week away, well no such luck, my web host came back and is now ignoring me and it now seems that some company has now registered my domain name when I was not looking, is there anything I can do to get my domain back as I was rather fond of it?

The people who have bought it seem to be a company so it is probably a lost cause, its just generally annoying as I will have to think of a new domain name now.

Edit: Silly spelling mistake on my part, my domain hasnt been registered by someone else, but the question remains, I have no control over the domain and my registrar is ignoring me.

I got that feeling, its just annoying that my hosting company wouldnt respond to me at all during all this.

Well ok the company thing turns out to be a spelling mistake on my part (delvag / devlag), but the question still remains, is there any way to get the domain back under my control if my registrar is ignoring me, I have thought about going up to enom who it seems my registrar uses, but they cant help me apparently.

And yes devlag.net is the site

I have sent an email a week to those addresses, nothing has come back at all, their website disappeared for a few weeks and is now back, so I am going to say that those emails have disappered into the ether.

I joined up there because it was around £2.50 a month for hosting and as a ******* about site it was fine, should have jumped ship when they started only accepting paypal.

Anyone suggest a decent web host, I am looking at DreamHost, as they give me SVN and full unix shell, plus the discount codes are nice, $50 off + 1 unique IP + 2 domains for life.

edit: Thanks to the Mod who put this thread in the right place
