28rain Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 So my website is www.thepunchbowl.co.uk I have just inherited this site, and given the task of making it better. So I made the site, and now need to change web hosts so I can use my PHP. Could somebody please tell me who owns my domain so I can change the DNS. Whois is being useless, see for your self, it wont point me to the correct owner. If anybody does find me the owner, could they point me to the place where i have to login, I have username & password I think Is there any other way af changing the DNS without using the owner???

cags Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 WHOIS is working perfectly, it is telling me that the owner is the Punch Bowl Restaurant and that Ascio are your domain registrar. If you view their website, on the contact us page it is clearly marked that they don't deal with end customers and that you should contact your host. This probably means your host registered the domain with Ascio and as such it would be them that needs contacting in order to transfer the ns for your site to a different host. You need to know who hosts the current site, whoever set it up is likely the only person that can tell you for certain, I don't know of a specific way to trace it otherwise. I did a tracert on the IP and it seems to time out at a server in Slough, a quick Google search indicates 1&1 are a webhost located in Slough, you could try them.
