Bought a site, he wont trasfer domain, anyway? - GoFuckYourself.com

jscott · 10-02-2008, 01:00 AM

Hey guys, I'm in a VERY shitty situation

1. I bought a 25k/day cj site about 2 years ago
2. I paid twice for the domain transfer, the owner always said he couldnt figure it out how to allow the trasnfer
3. Now i'm changing hosts, and I cant change the DNS for that site

anyone know if there is any other alternative way to get the DNS for that site changed to my new hosts DNS?

If not then this site will go down as my hosting will eventually remove my hosting/account

Oh, and the guy I bought the site from, he will not reply, he's disappeared 100%

KillerK · 10-02-2008, 01:08 AM

wow, you are owned hardcore

Ecchi22 · 10-02-2008, 01:11 AM

Damn.. That's fucked up. You should find him somehow sooner or later anyway..

Don't know if it is possible now, but you could use service like afraid.org before and with just one change by his side, you'd be able to change your dns really quickly from your afraid.org panel..

I'm not an expert in this, but if you find him, do that..

Other tip I have is to contact the register to domain, by the rules of most domain registars out there, the person should give valid information on the way they could contact him, so he needs to be reachable. They wont share the contact but it might help if you explain them whats going on

Big_D · 10-02-2008, 01:18 AM

yo jscott, the only thing i can recommend is speak with your current host and see if they can do a dns forward to your new host. It may cost a small amount per year, but its better than losing the site.

Just setup the domain on your new host and get the IP to your current host and see what the yearly charge would be.

Not the best solution in the world, but it keeps your traffic rolling.

pigman · 10-02-2008, 01:20 AM

Just fake a written transfer.

kmanrox · 10-02-2008, 01:24 AM

yep. bigD's on the case.

jscott · 10-02-2008, 01:31 AM

Even the host it's on has quit most contact with me, that is a whole different story hehe

Thanks for your suggestions, especially you BigD

rowan · 10-02-2008, 01:37 AM

Is there some sort of ICANN dispute resolution process you can go through? If you have proof of the sale (eg emails discussing pricing, receipts for the payment/transfer) and the original seller stays quiet then there may be a chance. I don't know any specifics but it's probably worth looking into, better than just losing your domain...

JamesK · 10-02-2008, 02:08 AM

You're fucked man. I mean, you could try and do what BigD says to reduce the damage, but in the end the domain is still in his hands and he can do whatever he wants with it.

Use Escrow next time.

Who is the registrar?

Good luck, man. I fucking hate being in situations like this. Believe me, I've been in some really shitty (similar) situations. I've lost domains and sites before because of shit similar to this. I know what it feels like, and it's not good at all. Start contacting registrars and shit like that while you can. Contact your hosting as well. Big_D had some ideas, I'd try to work with some of those. I hope you get something figured out. Once again, good luck.

TeenCat · 10-02-2008, 02:39 AM

nothing stupid in here, so ... if you are getting 25k/day from se, just make backup of the database, start it again at new domain with new logo and the visitors will find the informations again in some time ... i told that there was nothing stupid here, till now

wish you luck

Hey brotha, seems the transfer did go through then. Check your account. If you ever lose track of your domains and need info I really recommend http://www.centralops.net

Good news. It would have sucked for you to have lost that.

NickRac · 10-02-2008, 08:06 AM

I understand all worked out but...you let him keep your domain for 2 years w/o filing a charge back?

He's nice like that. He also likes being a good samaritan with shitty hosts.
