Yes. That is what I thought. The hosting service I have been using, said they could, and did change a domain name from .org.uk to .org but now I can't get into it via FTP or any other way. The changed domain name already exists and is in use, so I wondered how they could change it at all?

Hi. I am new to this and I have through, a misunderstanding bought a domain name that is of no use to me. It seems I cannot get a refund on domain names. I am wondering if it is possible to get this changed to one that I can make use of and if so, how do I go about it? Thanks for any advice. Ron

Thanks for the advice. I have more questions that probably need to go as a new post.

I am in the process of taking over a local societies website. All the email addresses are stored on the webmail system of the site and according to the group it is for, there are no backups! The previous designer wants to close down the old site, deleting all the data . He is not being very helpful about it either. I am by no means an expert, just someone who has done a few charity sites for friends and enjoy doing them. I was hoping that I would be able to just take over from the last admin and transfer the domain and hosting service into my name, but it seems not. I am keeping with the same hosting service, as they seem to say that they can transfer the contacts over to me, although they seem a bit vague about it. Is there a way to copy all the addresses (about 300) so that as a last resort they could be re-input? Thanks for any advice.
