Web site address lost

[doorman]

Looking for some help/advice, my web site which is www.prestigegaragedoors.co.uk is off line, all attempts to contact the host which is web mania have failed, there site is live but no response is made by them despite numerous emails by me. My yearly subscription was due at the end of March, but they never requested payment, but simply pulled the plug. My other problem, the company who set up my site has also disappeared, believed gone bust, so I have no access to passwords etc.
The question posed, how can I continue to use my domain name due to these circumstances? Of course, it also looks bad to potential customers who find a blank site thinking I have ceased trading.
I really need to get back on line fast, so would appreciate your feed back.

Thanks for your very quick response, have emailed register1 The info that you have found would indicate that web-mania still hold the registration, however, the server that I refer to who has gone out of business is webs edge.

Just seen this on South coast.



This may well all be above board and the son may have legitmately registered the company at that address.

Just in case you were thinking of popping round, you may well have a wasted journey.

Your welcome to PM me for more info if you require.

Hope all goes well for you.
