    internet, website question

    So last year, when the hurricanes hit, my site went down. After a time the hosts main site came back up (Paramountwebhost I think), and I kept e-mialing them about my site. I never got a response, even when I offred to pay them.

    Now, if I go to my old URL I get this

    www.royaldragonusa.net

    I tried e-mailing THEM, and I still get no response.

    Does anyone know how to get my URL back?
    Those that are the most sucessful are also the biggest failures. The difference between them and the rest of the failures is they keep getting up over and over again, until they finally succeed.

    Did you register that domain name? Did you fail to renew it?

    Domain Name: ROYALDRAGONUSA.NET
    Registrar: DOMAIN ROUGE INC
    Whois Server: whois.domainrouge.com
    Referral URL: http://www.domainrouge.com
    Name Server: DNS1.NAME-SERVICES.COM
    Name Server: DNS2.NAME-SERVICES.COM
    Name Server: DNS3.NAME-SERVICES.COM
    Name Server: DNS4.NAME-SERVICES.COM
    Name Server: DNS5.NAME-SERVICES.COM
    Status: clientTransferProhibited
    Status: clientDeleteProhibited
    Updated Date: 21-nov-2006
    Creation Date: 22-aug-2006
    Expiration Date: 22-aug-2007

    Looks like someone grabbed the name on 8/22/06. Looks like you'll have to make them an offer to get it back unless they don't renew it next year.

    Your site is probably still hosted at Paramountwebhost but you lost the domain name to someone else. I see royaldragonusa.com is available. Register that one and point it to your website.

    Oops, looks like PARAMOUNTWEBHOST.NET is down and out. Hope you have a backup copy of your website.

    Find another host and register royaldragonusa.com.

    Paramountweb host does not return my e-mials either.

    When the site went down, the name was still mine. The registration was comming due soon, but I was never able to do it because they were not responding to me.

    Thier phone number is down, and i really don't know how to re register the name without the hosts help.

    Well unfortunately it's gone now as you can see. Go to Network Solutions (or GoDaddy, whatever) and register the royaldragonusa.com and leave it parked there until you find a new host for your website.

    I suggest you set it up for auto-renewal with a credit card so you don't lose it in the future.

    I guess we posted at the same time.

    I have copies of the pages, BUT I want to redo the site anyway.

    Paramount never contacted me to say they were out of buisness or anything. just one day there was no access to my site, and no response from them.

    I noticed they got it in 06? The site went down about a year prior (Whenever the hurricanes hit New orleans). I was due to re register the domain a few months after, and never knew how to do it.

    Best to register with Network Solutions or another big name registrar that will be around for awhile. You can host the site there or anywhere.

    I was poking aorund that site you linked to above. Minimum bid on my old URL is $200.00

    Isn't that sick?

    You own the url. And you can use any hosting company that you want. Also it is wise to backup your site often.
