Topic: Webhosting

[Clive]

It's been a long time since this section has been used!  I own a domain name and website which is hosted on a server.  Some unscrupulous people have locked me out of the website.  If it became necessary, how could I direct the domain name to a different website? 

[Simon]

Have you contacted the web hosts? 

[Clive]

The webhost has changed the password to prevent me gaining access. 

[Clive]

The setup is that I own the domain name and the website but I have a webmaster who hosts the site on his friend's server.  I had to forcibly remove it from a previous webmaster/hosting site.  This is now the third time the webmaster has locked me out.    

[Simon]

Is the domain name host the same as the webhost?  I think you can change a webhost from within your domain name host's portal.  It might be worth having a chat with IDNet, or perhaps PM Zap next door, as this is the sort of thing he does all the time.

[Clive]

Ah, you have answered my question.  I own the domain name host but have no control over the web host.  Thanks for pointing me in the right direction and if necessary I will ask Zap.

Sorry Dave.  I'm busy with auditions at the moment.

I bet that's one of Simon Cowell's best lines.

Today I'm trying to remember where I left it. 

[sam]

Have you got this fixed? We should be able to sort this, or send the lads round.

[Clive]

I think I'm OK Sam.  If I need help I'll let you know!
