Website URL

[BPD]

Hi All,

I have a website URL that I haven't used in a few years. I have looked on 123reg and it is still showing as taken which it should as the renewal isn't due till later in the year. I was just thinking about setting a website up against it but have an issue, I can't find it! I have logged into my 123reg account and it isn't there. I have also logged into my Webfusion account and it isn't in there either. These are the only 2 places that I have URLs. How can I get access back to the domain?

Cheers
Liam

use Whois to identify who now owns it: http://www.nominet.org.uk/uk-domain-names/about-do...

If it's not you, which is what it sounds like, you need to buy it back.

If you type the domain name into WHOIS it should show you where it is registered.

You maybe in luck and they are holding it for you, but you may have a 'fine' to pay. Call them and ask!
