Hi all,

I have a website that who-is reports as -

Domain ID:
Domain Name: *.com

Expiration Date: 29-Mar-2012 00:00:00
Sponsoring Registrar: 'Check Whois' (NSI)
Status: client_transfer_prohibited
Name Server: ns0.easynet.co.uk
Name Server: ns1.easynet.co.uk
Registrant ID: Unknown
Registrant Name: SIP
Registrant Organization: Unknown
Registrant Street1: ASI House
Registrant Street2: Unknown
Registrant Street3: Unknown
Registrant City: UNITED KINGDOM
Registrant State/Province: Unknown
Registrant Postal Code: Unknown
Registrant Country: Unknown
Registrant Phone: Unknown
Registrant Fax: Unknown
Registrant Email: Unknown
Admin ID: Unknown
Admin Name: Crozier Steve
Admin Organization: Unknown

Yet as far as I know the company no longer exists. Does anyone have any idea where I go from here as I need to move it (preferably cheap!)

I'm afraid you're going to have trouble recovering that domain. It has been registered to false contact details (presumably by your host - asinet?) and the admin contact (which you need to transfer out) has been set to a contact @asinet.co.uk.

The nameservers are set to Easynet (www.easynet.co.uk), presumably your now defunct hosting provider was a reseller of this company. Therefore, if you can't get in touch with asinet, they would probably be your first port of call.

Sorry if that's not much help

Thanks for the reply, and you are indeed right. We are due to leave the host shortly and I'm not sure how easy that will be when we don't know who/where to contact. I managed to use archive.org to get -

ASI Solutions
ASI House
P.O Box 3520
Bracknell,
RG12 9WW

anyone heard of them??

Thanks,

Whoop
