Hi. I am looking for advice on a .org.uk name. I bought a hosting package with a .org.uk name included of my choice. I assumed that the host company would be registering it in my name as I was asked to provide my details etc as normal. I looked it up on who is and it has been registered to the host company. Obviously I was miffed because if I build any value into the site then they will charge me for my own work. So I asked them to transfer it into my name before I renew my hosting contract with them for this year. (The domain comes up for renewal in April2007). They agreed to do this but have now replied that they cant...I quote
"yes I have been experiencing difficulties in registering the domain in your name. I didn't realise the domain was a .org.uk as the registrant first name, last name & organization cannot be changed for these after registering, although I can change the address. Hands up, it is completely my fault as this should of been sorted when the domain name was initially paid for by yourself.
I'm not quite sure where to take it from here.
If you have any suggestions, I would be more than glad to hear them."
As I thought they knew more than me I am at a loss as to whetherthis is genuine, or a legitimate problem. What is my best way forward.
Thanks in anticipation of some help
