Anyway, as Boss Hogg points out, a WHOIS search on the domain name reveals that it belongs to your friend's firm. A little poking around also shows that the nameservers used (nsX.livednos.co.uk) belong to Fasthosts, in other words, the agency probably did not bother to find a proper hosting service but took the free-or-cheap-hosting-with-domain-registration route. So it should be easy for your friend to assert his rights over the domain and probably even over the files hosted by Fasthosts (I could be wrong about this, in that other hosting services than Fasthosts apparently use the same nameservers - the list is here). He just needs to contact Fasthosts (or one of the other hosting services) and ask them to send him a new login and password to an e-mail address he can access. If he doesn't get satisfaction, he can have the domain name transferred to a different registrar (see here), but I really don't think that is likely to be necessary. Of course, if your friend is as web-challenged as he seems to be, he will probably then need to hire someone to manage the site from the control panel and take it down or back it up or whatever he wants done. I'd offer to do it myself but would most definitely require payment in advance. |
