[Leica] OT: hosting provider going belly up

[Nathan Wajsman]

Thanks, Brian. No, the registrar is not going out of business, it is the hosting company through which I registered this domain (and four others). In this particular case, I do not actually use their hosting services, I just have greatpix.eu pointing to my Smugmug site. The only thing is that I have always renewed the registration through going-out-of-business company, I will see if I can deal directly with Register SpA.

Cheers,
Nathan

The "registrar" is not the holder of the domain registration information but rather just the broker who did the administrative work for you.
