I signed up with godaddy a year ago and registered my domain. A friend who was a reseller of godaddy helped me out by setting up my account. But he did this by transferring the domain over to him with my help of course. Now we are no longer friends, and i have no idea where he is, and his reseller account is taken down, and the password i had is not good now. I called godaddy, and they sent me to some other site who says they need proof of my friends business. so basically they can't change the admin email name over to me so i can then get in and change the rest. So basically my domain has been hijacked. I did not know transferring my domain over blocked my using it or transferring it somewhere else. I mean I paid for it, and have the email receipt and credit card statement. Shouldn't my name still be on the domain as the person that transferred it. Is godaddy just giving me a hard time or would other hosts say they needed authorization from my friend's compnay. How do you keep whoever is holding your domain, as the registrar, from just taking it and cutting you out. steve
go to: domaintools.com/[putyourdomainnamehere] scroll down to the bottom, there should be contact details listed for: registrant, technical contact, administrative contact. or there might be a link to godaddy to see the details. If your name and address show up in the registrant field, then you should be able to transfer the domain out by sending them a letter asking for the authorisation code, they should then send the authorisation code to the registrants address, so that you can then do the transfer.
If they sent you to DomainsPricedRight, that is a normal situation when a reseller of Godaddy quits their program... All domains registered though the reseller will automatically be moved over to DomainsPricedRight.... You need to look at the www.whois.sc data for your domain.... See if your name is on there anywhere.
