Need Urgent Help Regarding Webspace

    Hello,

    If you've ever been to my arcade site, www.arcadism.com, you'd know what to expect the next time you try to visit. However, now it seems that someone else's website is there instead of mine! Probably due to shared hosting, but still, someone must have put their own files in my arcadism folder. You'll see what I mean if you try and visit it. Unfortunately, my hosting deal was just an informal one over msn, and I can't remember who my hoster is. I've tried WHOis and DNSSTUFF lookups but I still can't figure out who to contact to solve my problem. If anyone can help I'd be deeply grateful.

    Thanks,

    Lee.

    Maybe it got hacked or your hoster "contract" expire or why don't you try a real hosting company like hostgator or zoomhosting

    Hi Lee,

    I have just checked the whois for your domain name and it shows as your domain was registered on 19 Sep 2006 12:21:11. Is this the date when you started your site? Usually .com domains are registered for 1 year. Maybe your domain expired, so did your hosting and someone has registered it once it became available again.
    My opinion is that you better us a normal hosting company rather then MSN.

    First your domain belongs to to you?? As powow wrote the details belongs to you?
    Second if yes then you must have something to prove that you are owner
    Third you go to a hoster explain them the situation report taht someone stole or hacked your details, buy hosting area to host your site and they will arrange to update dns server to point your site.

    In any way you must have something to prove that you are the owner

    Thanks for your advice guys, I've sorted it out. It seems I didn't know the host at changed servers :)
