Hi All,
I currently own the domain name boms.com.au
A friend in NZ is currently hosting that website for me (actually a contact of his in South America, I think).
I don't know how it's done, but all mail addressed to "boms" is auto-redirected to an email account I have with my old NZ-based ISP. I am wondering if it is somewhat related to my situation; jeack.com.au was taken over by hotkey.net.au, many years ago. Partly for consistency, partly for simplicity and partly for sentimentality I have retained the jeack address. My understanding is that 'rhn@jeack.com.au', nowadays is actually an alias for 'rhn1@hotkey.net.au' . So presumably hotkey now owns the domain name 'jeack.com.au' ? Such is the mutable nature of companies and their ownership structures; Hotkey is now owned by iPrimus(Aust) , until recently the Australian subsidiary of iPrimus (US); iPrimus (Aust) has recently been sold to an Australian company M2.... and so it goes ! Perhaps as the domain name owner you merely have to host it somewhere else ?; I must admit I am quite curious to hear from the many on LUV; much more knowledgeable in such matters than me ; regards Rohan McLeod
