Damn, best of luck resolving this issue Sleazy.

Btw, after you resolve this, make sure to get this idiot's amateurpages and triplexcash accounts termed.

I agree and have learned the HARD way this time.


i lost a url that had a LOT of galleries on it (not sleazydream)- like 150mbps worth.

it was locked with dotster - and according to my dotster stats - it's still with dotster - nothing happened. but it's re-directing to some popup hell autoinstall thing now.

i can't understand how they took it either? doesn't make sense as there's no indication in my dotster account of any transfer or the like.

Its not at dotster anymore. Its at directi.com. Try calling them. Ask them to terminate that guy's account and switch the nameservers back. Then transfer the domain back to your registrar.

The common practice is to hack the email, setup a new password and transfer the domain.

I think you will be able to get it back once you can get a hold of support.

they were sent emails asking basically 'what the fuck?'

no response yet from them either.

but my account at dotster doesn't even show a transfer?

It shouldn't.

You should have gotten a transfer request email. (and then approve the the transfer by clicking a link from taht email)

Do you still have access to the email thats on file at dotster ?

that's what i don't understand - i got no notification from dotster at all about this, and i get their emails for everything else

Sleazy, could another registrars ceo have a way to contact the person/s you need to speak with, this url was from my bookmark.. http://naralo.info/registrars.htm

checked and printed all account notification areas in my dotster account - no notice of this WHAT SO EVER

I hope you get it solved quickly SD... I'm very sorry for ya :Oh crap

oh and fitty stolen domains :disgust

Maybe an admin is online here Scott.

question pending in there for many hours now

Want me to make a phone call to someone out there?

edit - Let me clarify...... It would only be a call to someone in that building, I can't make any promises or list any more numbers than I have...

I can feel your pain, I am doing reverse phone number searching, peoples names whom I beleive work for dotster to try finding contacts with your whitepages.com and the like.

Im just sitting back, just cracked a beer and i will be online for a few hours. Saturday night for me. Shitty movie re-run so its just music playing in my background here.

Dialed them to see if that path would help, voice mail only. =(

Do you have access to the server/s still, if that doamin is still showing inside your account then it might not be the nameserver.

Did you have a geo install or something? blocking only your ip or ipblock with some form of .htaccess redirect?

Break down the order of operation and eliminate the causes using a fishbone diagram.

I kept comming up with dead ends, ahh my eyes are fucgered from speed reading so many searches from goolge

jiizzzz that sucks i have 25 domains on dosters :(

:(

I'm sorry for you, SleazyDream. All my domains are at dotster.com but I got insignificant traffic.

Sleazy what happened?

Same shit happened to me and goddday back in day

directi are based in india and should have 24/7 support :
http://www.directi.com/contactus/support/

although their english is terrible and often the line is bad
try filling out a support request and ask them WTF :

http://support.directi.com/support/supReqForm.jsp

good luck sleazy

Wow what a fuck around. I hope you can get this all worked out and soon.

Good luck, Sleazy.

lol - you can't use the online support - it requires the catigory button to be used and it doesn't work

if you have domains with dotster,here are a couple of things you need to know.
1)the domains are not on lock by default.you need to go to domain management and order the free service.while you are there add the whois privacy service which is also free.now even though its free you have to hit the continue button and agree with their TOS
2)if you dont want to pay their $14.95 for renewal of your domains but dont want the hassle of transferring out, open up an a/c with www.mydomain.com which is the same crew as dotster but the domains are only $8.50 year.When you have opened up the a/c go back to your dotster control management panel and select move the domains to another account.Then put in the name of your a/c with mydmain.com and the names will be pushed to that control panel and therefore at $8.50 renewal fee.

Directi are scammers based in India.I hate them with a passion.Here is their india contacts:Sales Contact:
Email Address: [email protected]
Tel: +91.2256797501
Fax: +91.2256797504
and here is their US contact phone number.(415) 240 4172

Good Luck.

damn.. did you try call those fucks? :)

Also I forgot to mention that mydomain.com which are the same crew as dotster have a forum that maybe able to help you over the weekend.
http://forum.mydomain.com/

Priceless thread! Karma's a bitch, huh?

Idiot! lol

:helpme :1orglaugh

I had the same problem at RegisterFly. Someone I knew gained access to my email address and that's how he got in and pushed 5 domains to him. He immediately erased all the email confirmations they sent.. Luckily for me, I logged in to my account about an hour later and called RegisterFly after freaking out for about 15 minutes. It was during business hours.

Hey swami, have you seen this: http://www.adultsem.com/adult-seo-bl...ebound-effect/

That marcoola ID is yours, correct? If so, there is a thread on JBM that you might want to check because it concerns you :)

Pretty interesting thread. These registrars hold millions of dollars worth of domains and you can't even get in contact with them on the weekend.

People laugh at me cos I spend a dollar or two extra to use Directnic. I get replies to my trouble tickets on weekends there.

What sort of email was connected to the domain Sleazy? Was it a Yahoo or Gmail type address?

excuse me? - please tell me WHO'S business I've ever fucked with? EVER

I could be wrong since I registered a url and parked a few later with a hosting company who was using directnic or so the graphics said, I made the phone call when one domain expired and had no reminders. Silly me that I never thought the company would register a new domain with webmaster @ newdomain.com and I never bothered to set up an email account assuming all biz emails would come to the email I used with signup and billing.

The result of the phone call was to contact ItsYourDomain.com. I did email and they said I could reinstate it for x amount of money. I chose not to. Missed out on buying the domain back, but saved the others domains by giving the last for digits of my cc to get emails sent to my main email account from them and renewing the domains is a couple of bucks cheaper than with the company I signed up with.

Sleazy, did you get your domain back? Almost a week now...
