Website hosting expired
Discussion
I am not an IT consultant so you may need to bear with me a little on this. My website hosting has expired and the person looking after it has vanished off the face of the earth. I do not have the passwords etc to access it to renew. This is probably a silly question to most of you but what can I do to renew the hosting bearing in mind what I said at the beginning of this thread
You have 2 options.
a) contact Joker (the Registrar) and convince them to turn over the domain to you, and renew it. BUT this is only going to happen if your listed as the Admin / billing contact. if your not, you have to goto b)
b) wait for the domain to be deleted, and then reregister it with a new registrar, and start your hosting from scratch.

seems to list your site, so you should be able to load / save the majority of the content.

Hmmm, you're gonna need a lot of luck trying to get Joker to do anything judging from our dealings with them.
Sincerely hope that's not the case though

Amen to that, didnt want to dishearten, but took a client 5 weeks to get a transfer out of joker once, even tho they 'said' his window was open.

joker.com register you domain as
*** 1. Redemption Grace Period
Starting Jan. 26, 2003 VeriSign, the Registry responsible for domains
under the TLD .com, .net, .org and .info introduced a new status for
domains: Redemption Grace Period What does
this mean? A domain can be deleted for 2 reasons: -
explicit request from the customer - domain is not renewed A
domain will not be deleted immediately from the database of the registry
any longer. Instead, for 30 days following the deletion, the domain
can NOT be registered again, but the registrar responsible for the
domain has the option to "reanimate" the domain again for the registrant.
This option should help those registrants which did fail to renew the
domain before beeing deleted or by failure deleted a domain. Unfortunately,
using this option is quite expensive because a lot of manual work has
to be done. The cost for such a "reanimation" is EUR 125.00. If
you want to start such a procedure, please send a mail to billing@joker.com,
explaining the reason for the request of restoring the domain (we have
to provide this for VeriSign). After 30 days in RGP, the status
of the domain will change to "pending delete" for 5 days. During these
5 days joker.com has no possibility to invoke the "reanimation process".
During the 6th day after the deletion the domain is free to be registered
again through regular procedures. For rejecting domaingrabbers the
exact time for a new registration is not foreseeable. However,
please note that before Joker.com deletes a domain, the responsible
contacts of this domain will be warned several times by email. We
even add a grace period of 4 weeks after the normal expiration. At
the beginning of that additional grace period we replace the nameserver
entries by not-renewed.joker.com , which holds the domain, but
renders it unusable. During this period the domain can be renewed
for current regular prices.
don't know what else to suggest
