[ale] GoDaddy - Re: Domain Registrar

[Lightner, Jeff]

The whois command should show you current registrar and (so long as you
didn't make it private at Network Solutions) the email contacts for
Admin and Tech.   If you still have access to those old email addresses
you can get them to send you password to one of those then can login and
change it to a newer account.

I think back when I got my domain, it was way before all this Godaddy
stuff.. So somehow I made it to Network Solutions, & bought my domain (
later re-upped for 10 years, so I wouldn't forget to PAY for it yearly!)
then found out, HEY, now what do I do & how do I get my email !!! I
really don't remember WHO my first hosting company was, it was so long
ago! ( probably got all those emails saved on kmail from 2 servers
back.)
