Hi guys I set up my website a few months ago, but because I dont have a clue about websites i got this company to build me a website and they also registered my domain name. anyway now Im not happy because im paying a lot of money per month for their hosting, and I dont have any access to my control panel, so basically everything has to go through this company, which takes so long. I want control over my website, but i hardly have any.. I have looked up who the domain is registered to on WHOis. and basically it is not even registered in my name which really concerns me. Does anyone have any advice on what I can do?! Any advice would be greatly appreciated! thanks
I would simply ask for my money back.. and explain that you were under impression the domain name would be in your name. When you tell them this flat out, it will most likely make them consider their options. Which will be: 1) Return your money for misleading you. In which case they will have the domain and you will have your money. 2) Offer to transfer the domain over to your name so you will have full control over what you have paid good money for! Like should have been done in the first place. Boulder
thanks Boulder But what about the actual web design that I have paid a lot of money. Will i still get to keep this? this is all so confusing!
Well, first there is usually a domain before there can be a design, seen publicly anyway! So, what good is a design with out a domain? LOL Was the domain name and design paid for as one payment or package? Or were the payments itemized for each separate? I personally would not want a nice design I paid for on someone else's domain! I would only have my paid for design on my own domain name or, I find another design and get my money back. Maybe you just need to have a little talk with this deal and explain to the service that you need to look out for your future investment. By therefore, having the domain name transfered into your name. Boulder
