Hi

I've had a .com domain for many years that I first registered when I had a
dial up account with Connectfree, as part of the package. Every year I have
a battle to get it renewed (for a small fee), as the company has obviously
changed a lot since I had a dialip account. This year I cannot renew the
domain as I'm really struggling with their technical support who sound like
they're in some other country. They say they cant look into this without me
giving my connectfree email address, and as I never did use one as I had my
own domain, I haven't a clue.

I view can (or could) view my email view webmail.minx.uk.com so tried
looking for them without success.


"whois" shows my domain is registered until October 2005, so I suspect its
the hosting thats expired.

Any ideas how to procede ?

If it is just the hosting that has expired, you should be able to get
new hosting elsewhere (I'm a Freelance web-designer and sell hosting
space). You can of course still get free hosting and probably have some
with whichever ISP you now use...

If you still use ConnectFree which I assume you do if you have our
domain name and hosting with them? Then it should be easy enough to work
out your ConnectFree e-mail address (probably username@connectfree.com).

If however you are not happy with ConnectFree and you are now using a
different ISP you should be able to transfer domainnames away from
ConnectFree to another registration agent (they might charge you around
£15 for the priveledge). Pick an agent that has a good online control
panel to manage your domain name so that you can change web-forwarding
or DNS entries yourself allowing you to manage where the domain points
once you have set up some new hosting space. Unfortunately, the best
things in life aren't always free!... If you want ease of access and
management over your hosting and domainnames then you do have to pay for
them, either via your ISP or through 3rd parties. I tend to keep my
hosting, domain-name registration and ISP provider separate.

Hope some of that helps, as I'm not really sue what the problem is!

Al.
