Hello.

I have a potential new client, the previous webmaster has got wind of the sites being moved and has taken one of the sites down. (how unprofessional can you get)

The domain is registered in the name of the MD of the potential new customer, however the MD does did not register it and therefore does not have the registrar login for me to change the nameservers.

Is appears to be held with namejuice.com in the states.

Advice on moving the domain anyone?

Thanks

the md is lucky, the domain is under his name, so no problem at all. if a co.uk domain, simply contact nominet and they would force it to chnage to a new registrar of your choice. there'd be similar rules with regard to .com domain but i guess much more time consumming and could take more trouble to get it done.

i have a similar case, a .co.uk domain was registered under a name of osmeone possibly from the registrar's company who could no longer be contacted by whatever means (or even had died). the domain/site owner can clearly show the the true onwership belongs to the site owner, it was simply an innocence mistake at the time of registerring it. but whatever you tried to persuade nominet for help/renewal, the beaucrats remained unmoved. now the site is down due to not being able to renew the domain and the business is suffering.

Unfortunately its a .com which will now mean contacting the US and Aus (two domains)

They'll ask you to fax something on the letter header notepaper of the company owning the domain, plus something like an image of a passport belonging to the owner - so get them lined up.
