Host will not transfer domain name?

Well, they have a place to transfer a domain name in there modernbill but the link does not work. I have called, and emailed. Been trying to move it over to godaddy for 3 months now. Whats my next step.

I hope you're not with 1and1.com.

who's the host?

Its a friend of a friend, Not sure how much of its it not wanting to or just not taking the time to do it. I am fixing to move from his host so i think its going to piss him off. Trying to get controll of the domain name before it happens.

who registered it?? you or him?

I registered it thru his site. Whois.Net

shows up in my name.

If you own the domain, then you don't need them to do anything. Just update the name servers with your registrar to point to your new host's name servers and you're done.

Unless 3800hosting.com is the host you're talking about, since they're listed as the registrar. If that's the case, then you're stuck with having to deal with them.

I'd transfer it to another registrar as soon as you can; such as Dotster or GoDaddy where you can have full control of it.

I have tried to transfer it, The auto script does not work in the billing software and, he does not answer emails or calls.

this is where i love being my own register.. cheap domains 6.99 a pop...

since its hosted on this servers, aswell... its dodgy.. why on earth get a domain with hosting?!

Unsure where 3800 hosting get there domains.. do you have a page where you register them?

also try add him to msn.. paljets[at]hotmail.com - post when you noted, so i can remove..

Well he is a friend of a friend, nice guy. Just wanted my ssl cert installed over 30 days ago before mine when bad. Not good to have a store with no ssl installed. So it should be best for me to move it since i will not be hosting there soon.

I found the main domain seller he was a reseller for. And emailed them. I will probley never buy a doman name thur a small guy again.

did you contact your friend? or try call him????...

thats one option, i see no way off buying domains on his site.. :S

who's he resell for?

I got my domain names under transfer from enom I thought it would be a pita to get a domain name from a register, its actually easy as pie if you go the next step up.

Nope, still have not had contact with my host/registra friend.

ah enom, yeh they will deal with you directly if the reseller doesn't make any contact etc...
