What a craptastic day

[Youphoric]

Alright, issue #2.

Youphoric.com is down. 

Little back story - The site (and hosting) was a present from a friend, who now is on a lesser "friend" scale.  But we still talk.  Occasionally.

So, now that the site is down for whatever reason, I email said person and ask two questions.

#1) How do I get the site back online.
#2) How do I go about handling all aspects of the site.  (i.e. hosting it, domain registration, etc. so that I don't have to rely on that person.)

This person seems to be ignoring me.

I'm not happy.

Do you all know of anything I can do?  I can't even access my cpanel.

[cnamon]

I can offer no techincal help.

I can only hug and offer to bust kneecaps.

[Alice]

Sorry hun, everything I know about computers I learned from DS.

I can help you with most of it, except for getting into the server it's currently on.  I think I still have some hosting space left, depending on how much space and bandwidth you need.

If this person keeps ignoring me, do I have any avenues to take?  Or am I screwed?

You'll have to tell him that you want to pull the files out of it and transfer the registration.  I know for sure that I can't help you with that.  I checked the registration, and there's no way in hell they'll respond to anything from me.

Who owns teh domain name?  There are website harvesting programs.

Her friend owns the domain name.  It hasn't been harvested.

[Infobahn]

Damn.

Thanks for checking.  I really hope this isn't a vindictive measure prompted by some...others.

Info, what is the harvester thing?

[Infobahn]

There are programs (hell, Frontpage does it) that can cull all of the code and images off of a website and put them on your harddrive.

The only issue then, is getting the domain moved.

ETW: That assumes the site is running - you might be able to cull off of the wayback machine website.

I'm not going to speculate on that, but I know what you mean.  Just let me know if you can get him to respond, and we can get you transferred pretty quickly.

Yeah, I can't access anything.

And I don't actually have any pages up, yet.  This is more of a "behind the scenes" site that has a spot for my guild on WoW and other things.

A DNS search is telling me that it's a server failure, so who knows what's going on with it.

Well, if he responds, I'll let you know ASAP, if not...... well..... I only have a few months more onthe domain registration, I believe, so if it's a yearly renewal, I'll grab it then.

[cnamon]

Did you try to see if any of that person's domains were up and running?

[Bennyhana]

Is it possible that the dude's email server is on the same machine?  That would explain why you're not getting any responses, if the server is down.

Well, one of the sites is not there.  That certainly could explain it, but I also IMed the person.

July 6 is when it's up.  Might not be available instantly, though.  You could always grab the .net or .org names, though.

How do you find these things out?  How soon is a domain available?  If I have to re-register it and get a new host, I'm assuming I'll lose all files, correct?  And what kind of hosting service do you have?  Rather, what is the interface?  Is it easy to create pages and design them or am I better off using dreamweaver and copying/pasting the resulting code?

If you have to reregister and switch hosts, you're starting with new space.  It all depends on getting access to your files there.  They can almost always be placed on a new server, but if you can't get them, of course you'll have to start over.

What I have is server space that I can give out or resell.  Each space has its own URL, its own space and its own control panel.  The interface is CPanel.  There's no sitebuilder there, but I have yet to see a sitebuilder on a host that even comes close to Dreamweaver.

Cpanel is fine by me. 

I just have to dig up my Dreamweaver disc.  Arg.

Ok, that got a giggle.
