Hi, I've got the login and password for my Domain Central account, which I set up myself almost a year ago. Have updated my contact details with them. Will give it another couple days, and another couple ways, of contacting my pal back in NZ. Failing that, will change website hosting to someone local -- preferably an easily-contactable individual rather than a big company. Carl On 27/07/12 08:29, Brian Parish wrote:
Hi Carl,
Your domain is registered with Domain Central. Your only option in the absence of contact with your friend is to contact that registrar, prove your ownership, re-delegate the domain and get things set up elsewhere. While you are listed as the contact, presumably e-mails to that contact address will also go into limbo, so doing a password recovery on the registrar's website probably won't help you. Might be worth checking where they go though.
cheers Brian

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.
My pal hasn't responded to my recent request, to change that redirection to the email account I currently have with my new AU-based ISP.
In the off chance that something drastic has happened to my pal:
How can I "wrest control" of my email handling?
Feel free to reply off-list, and/or just point me to a relevant website to RTFM.
Cheers,
