“Just to say I've had success with contacting OnlineNIC...”

Written on: 12/05/2011

Just to say I've had success with contacting OnlineNIC who have been extremely helpful. I would recommend them to anyone who needs to escape webmania and retrieve their domain name. They have unlocked my webmania domain, changed my e-mail address to be the admin contact and supplied me with an auth code so that I can retrieve my domain name and take it to another provider. I had just paid my renewal fee for both my domain name and hosting for a year only to find they have not renewed the account and from reading numerous forums I know suspect they are out of business. I'm not impressed at all and am concerned at how it has affected my own business in the last two weeks. Thank goodness for OnlineNIC for thir help!

Not quite out of business apparently.
<br/>According to Begbies Traynor (liquidation company) [name removed] has taken on Web-Mania as sole trader, and he had the very good grace to reply to an email I sent today about retrieving the mysql database for the forum which is/was part of a domain I've now transferred to a new host. He gave some additional detail about the servers which went offline and the damage that was done to them after the PSU failure. Repair work is still being done, although I heard this morning that some websites have now come back online.
<br/>I still think the last few weeks have shown that Web-Mania has been very poorly run - but I'm encouraged by the fact that [name removed] has responded quickly to an email; maybe there is some hope?
