Hello,

I am wondering if anyone can help. I had two very small website businesses. Somehow some theives got a hold of my hosting account login, transferred the hosting to somewhere else and of course the pay-links now point to their own accounts. I still have the domains registered in my name. Is there any way to shut the site down? That's all I want to do at this point.

Thanks!

If you can still log in to your domain name registrar account, you still have control of the domain.

You can re-point to whatever new hosting service you want by setting in new DNS (domain name servers).

Also, call your previous hosting service and close that account (since you paid for it, right?)

Thanks for the info. I'll try that out. And I did already close that account, thanks.
