website gone tits up
cant get hold of the hosting company
and now found this titbit ont tinterweb
As an existing customer of Webmania I have had huge problems over the past 6 months with their billing mistakes, domain registration failures and inability to reply to any second level enquiries. The live chat and helpdesk are still operational (supplied by a third party), but the UK side of the company seems to have disappeared.
I can only assume the owner has either gone bust or something unfortunate has happened to them.
After a lot of work I have finally managed to get my domains released from Webmania and transferred over to a reputable host.
If you are in a similar position, read on.
How to transfer your domains and hosting away from Webmania
Webmania is a reseller of OnlineNIC. If you have tried and failed to resolve your problem with Webmania directly, go to OnlineNIC.com and register within their support section before opening a new ticket, explaining the issue. They are getting pretty sympathetic to Webmania customers now, and usually help.
You need to specifically ask them to do the following:
UNLOCK each domain. This is a setting Webmania enabled to stop unauthorised transfer of domains away from them.
Change the administrator email address to your own email. Without this, all domain transfer requests will go to Webmania, they wont respond and your transfers will fail. Can you tell I tried this several times before realising?
Provide the EPP codes. Your new host will ask for these to initiate transfer.
Note: for .co.uk domains, you should bypass OnlineNIC and go straight to nominet.org.uk who will help you out in a similar way.
Now, register with a new host. I highly recommend Netmotivated. They now host all of my sites (this blog is about to transfer as I write this), and I know the operator so can vouch for their business standards. All support request are dealt with quickly and by UK staff.
Now dont know what to do
