Registered a domain name through Namegate in July. Shortly after the application had gone to Nominet I found I could no longer email my contact at Namegate, nor did he respond when I posted a message flagging him on an ISP mailing list he was on. Now www.namegate.com is down, has been down for weeks, and I found mention of there being a striking off notice against Namegate at Companies House, which I take it means the company has been nuked in some fashion. Can anyone here confirm this?

The trouble is that this disappearance means that I have no DNS record for my domain... I got the confirmation of registration letter yesterday, but I can't use it as there's no DNS.

Go there, pay the money, have the IPS tag changed to someone else (maybe try the one in the banner up top

place a transfer order with that company and you're away.

Drop me a mail via profile if you need more info.
