How can I get into my website that the company set up for me and?

Question

now want to charge me enormous fees for advertising. I am not paying but want to do it myself, they have made it so I can't even add a link to it and I have no way of telling how many people have visited it or anything, they have the username and password. I know I made a mistake and plan on getting out of the deal, it's just eh idea that they can do this. Web Club International...stay away from them. Any help on how to post a link or anything would help. Thanks

Answer 1

Like Michael said above, if you own the domain then you own the domain. If not, there's nothing you can really do about that one.

If you own the domain, set up a different web host so you can do everything yourself. I like GoDaddy at www.godaddy.com because they just make things so darn simple.

Get the new DNS settings for the new hosting company and write them down.

If you like the site as it is, then save all the pages and the images into the same directory structure as your site is. (Right-click, then View Source will give you the source code for the page if it's not dynamically generated, then right-click then save image will save the images. If you don't understand anything I'm saying here, find someone who understands it to do it for you.)

Call whoever the domain is registered with and let them know that your domain has been hijacked, and that you would like to just change the DNS numbers so people can see your the way you want it to be. They should ask you some verification questions. Also, if you are the registered owner, CHANGE EVERY CONTACT for the domain - technical, administrative contacts, to yourself or someone you actually trust - right there. That way, the other folks can't change it back.

Hope this helps. It happened to me a long time ago. I won.

(If you are NOT the registered owner, buy another domain and set up the new domain yourself on another web host and start all over.)

Answer 2

If you are the person who paid for the domain and the domain is registered in your name, you can contact the domain registrar to ask them to reset the password for the domain.

Then you can contact the hosting service and explain you want to reset the access privileges on the site. That will be a start toward regaining your property.
