Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Web Hosting : Vizhost.com , NorthWindwebhost.com disappeared! What to DO???

[BiGGie]

Well its been about 3days now since 'Vizhost.com' they where 'Northwindwebhost.com' before they changed there name to Vizhost. Well I have no idea what I can do, they have had alot of issues with sites going down or what ever, and I can not have all my sites be down like that! It would be easy for me to just move to a new host but I registerd all my domains with them, and I can not get into the DNS to change the address to my new host. Has anyone had this problem before? What can I do to get a hold of my domain dns...

Yes i just got a new host cause i noticed this too first you get a couple emails about a new billing system then they dissappear altogether... I got a host quote from here and went with mjzhosting.net i had my account ready in 5 minutes the domains are another question i have 2 domains registered at vizhost.com and 1 that got transferred there (its a shame after i was with them for about a year now) no idea how you or i will get the dns changed now... the only thing i can think of is i do have phillp ma's aim screen name ill give it to you but i haven't seen him on...

Good luck BiGGie and total_assault.

There are many threads in that forum that suggest people not to register their domains with a webhost.

Gone with the wind... hope you guys could gain access to your domain again.

I hope you guys have a backup of your site and you can move to another reputable host.

The files are not a probelm the, Domain Name Servers are!
Files are so lost dont even wanna think about it I just want the name servers to be changed to my new webhost, I mite have to get a new domain name which would suck !

[mmaaaaattt]

Well, the actual registrar of your domain(s) is ENOM, INC. I would suggest contacting the folks at http://www.enom.com/ and explaining the situation, maybe even linking them to this thread for further proof. Hopefully they will be able to transfer ownership over to you, it would be the rational thing to do.

Thanks Mjzz, Vizhost.com is back up I'll send them an email

Sounds like a datastreamusa scam, watch those kinds of people.

How do you figure? I was with vizhost since september 2003, they only started this downward trend about mid july 2004?

Yah I have been with them for some time also, and never had any of this problems. The last owner was really nice and if I emailed him at 3am he would respond withing a few min, great support. I will keep with them right now and hopefully nothing like this happens again. The only thing that I was worry about was my domains, Im about to switch all my domains to a diffrent company and keep them all together. So we will see how that goes.

Having full and independant control over your domains is a must.
