Hi,
I registered a domainname with this company a while ago and also used their hosting service. They turned out to be the host from hell so I left. Time went by and now I'm looking for a host and I'm thinking, okay, maybe I'll use my domainname and get a new host. Found one that I like and they tell me to change the nameservers (that's what they are called, right?) and that's it. So I return to this place where I registered the domain and everything seems to be up-side-down there. Since I know how lousy their service is I get worried, try to log in to manage my domain and get this "the page can not be displayed"-page. I look long and hard and finally find an email addy, mail them, no reply. Now it hasn't been all that long since I emailed them, but I'm concerned. I want to get my domain out of there. Just out of curiosity, what do you do if the place where you registered your domain just disappears or goes out of business or something? What does it mean to transfer a domain? Does it mean to move to another registrar? Is it free? Can I do it without having to access my account at this place where I'm at now? Sorry, long post and many questions but I need some help Thanks for reading.
