What do you do when....

[MaDCaT75]

When your old hoster has not answered his e-mails that you have been sending constantly for two weeks.... and not answering the phone or the messages that you leave for him either? Even on the hosting forums he will not reply. Its frustrating casue all I wanna do is have my old host provider move my forum to the new site!

[MindTrix]

Dont think you can do much but wait really :s

[MaDCaT75]

Yes but..... for how long?

[Brad]

Why dont you move it yourself?

[MaDCaT75]

Well I kind of did have it moved.... just the database and all my files. But I need my old hoster to update the dns route or something like that so I am not depended on my old host anymore. See my forum is http://www.sims2forums.com but it got moved to http://sims2.shelltopia.com/ a few days ago.... if you go to the old address you get a message saying where the new one is. But the old one is still using its dns route and I need my old hoster to update it.

Actually, you would update the DNS through your domain registrar. Once you ditch your old hoster, they shouldn't have to do anything.

[MindTrix]

Thats true Luke, cant see how you didnt know that MadCat

yup you actually don't need your host for it at all unless he owns your domain name and then even then he don't actually have to even hand it over to you :-S

[MaDCaT75]

my old hoster bought my domain name (www.sims2forums.com) for me and I dunno what I need to do to switch the stuff over really

[sabret00the]

do a whois to find out if he's the owner of it's you, if it's him he don't owe you the domain name and so you may end up having to buy it off of him.
