| 1192146 | 2011-04-05 09:05:00 | Can someone answer the following questions please. Can you obtain the UDAI of a domain if the current host registrant is not willing to divulge it? Can you move name servers and hosts without the current hosts permission? If a company made the registration of the domain on behalf of your business how can you divorce yourself from said company and take full control of your domain? Is there any way the current registrant (the one on the whois) can block access to the above processes by the legitimate owner? Based on the questions asked is there anything else relevant that I have neglected to check? |

| 1192147 | 2011-04-05 09:25:00 | Can you obtain the UDAI of a domain if the current host registrant is not willing to divulge it?My understanding is that if you are the owner of the domain, they are required to divulge it under the terms of them operating as a registrar in the .nz space. Which company is refusing to provide you with this? Can you move name servers and hosts without the current hosts permission?Yes - simply inform your registrar of the new nameservers, and any glue updates if you run your own nameservers. The old DNS host won't be able to do a thing about it. Note that this assumes that your DNS host and registrar are not the same entity. If a company made the registration of the domain on behalf of your business how can you divorce yourself from said company and take full control of your domain?You can't, unless that company agrees to give it to you. Whichever entity is listed as the registrant is the entity with the ultimate authority over what happens to the domain (unless that entity breaches contract, in which case there are a few other measures that may be possible). Is there any way the current registrant (the one on the whois) can block access to the above processes by the legitimate owner?The current registrant *is* the legitimate owner. You can dispute ownership, but will need to have a reasonably solid case for it to be worth your while. Based on the questions asked is there anything else relevant that I have neglected to check?Could you explain a bit more about the problem you're having? As I understand it, your company initially paid 'WebTech LTD' to handle its domain management, and 'WebTech LTD' registered the domain itself, and used it to provide you with certain services. Now that you're wanting to move elsewhere, they're getting snotty and refusing to let you move to a competitor. Does this sound about right? Edit: According to DNC's website: "Registrars are obliged to promptly make UDAIs available to registrants upon request and may not withhold them to prevent a domain name from being transferred under any circumstances." Note that this assumes you are in fact the registrant. Edit 2: Only .nz domains have a UDAI; domains under other TLDs don't use this system. Edit 3: Try here (dnc.org.nz) and here (dnc.org.nz) for a bit more info - these are the folks who run the .nz registry. |

The person understands the site and contents are the property of the "Webtech" but the domain belongs to him and he wants to move it and start again. |
