hi netbehaviourists, a strange & extremely annoying thing happened yesterday: the company that i use for domain registration (& have used without problem for at least 10 years) seems to have vanished.
my domains are still working - except for domains that are forwarding/pointing to another url. & the really annoying thing about this is that it affects http://www.make-shift.net, which is the site for the networked performance we are premiering on sunday. everything for the performance is still working fine, the web site is still accessible by the direct address (http://www.creative-catalyst.com/make-shift/) & luckily we haven't sent out the final email reminder for people so we can put in that address. but we also have an email address which is forwarding, & this is now not working, which is also a problem as we ask people to email us after the show. the domain company is http://discountdomainregistry.com/ & their site is completely down. i've been emailing their support & getting no reply. i've looked back thru emails from them dating back 10 years & there is never any phone number of physical address information, just links to the web site :( all i've been able to find on the web is that they are registered as a company in new york, but i can't find a phone number or any other way to contact them :( is there anyone else out there who uses this company? anyone with any ideas how i can find a phone number for them? (http://www.yellowpages.com/ can't find it) & what other companies do people recommend? obviously i'm going to switch companies (i have about 10 domains registered with them, some on behalf of other people/projects) but i don't think i can do this before sunday (i'm also teaching a workshop the next 3 days & rehearsing!) does anyone have any experience in domain transferal? is it possible to do it without being able to contact the company that currently hosts the domain?? h : ( ____________________________________________________________ helen varley jamieson: creative catalyst [email protected] http://www.creative-catalyst.com http://www.avatarbodycollision.org http://www.upstage.org.nz ____________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
