Domain name help!!

[IanS16]

Right,

 

My Managing Director purchased a domain for his other business (www.theflowerexchange.co.uk) in September of last year through lycos but apparently lycos webhosting is no more. If I do a WHOIS then it brings up his details and the following:

 

Name: theflowerexchange.co.uk

Server: no -> (DOES NOT EXIST)

Status: Array

Changed: 2009-09-23

Created: 2008-09-04

Expires: 2010-09-04

Referer: http://www.monimet.uk

Registrar: Nominet UK

Whois: co.uk.whois-servers.net

Args: theflowerexchange.co.uk

Port: 43

Type: domain

 

All I need to do is access it and set if to forward to a different web address.

 

Any ideas??

Is it not just a case of getting in touch with nominet?

I'd never heard of nominet before

 

 

I'll look into it, thanks

I guess these are the guys you need to speak to http://www.nominet.org.uk/ They probably took ownership of it in the fall of Lycos? It appears their registered server has a typo. Googling it says that Facebook is registered with them so presume they are legit.

Nominet are the controling body for domain names. Like a central administration who records who owns which domain and for how long etc etc. They should be able to sort out the problem for you - but I have a fear it wont be a five minute job.

Didn't get round to it today but yeah I fear you are right about the 5 minute job thing. The simplest things never are...

 

Again, thanks for your help guys
