[ale] sponsoring registrar

Quickest would be to make a payment on the account as that is likely what the hosting company wants.   They’ll likely turn it back on with a valid payment even if they won’t let you access it until you prove you should.

The below whois info shows the domain itself has not expired (and doesn’t until Feb 2015) so it is the hosting that expired.

Ouch. That's a mess.
Get ready to prove a death with a death certificate.
For the moment, the easiest thing will be to contact the site hosting provider and the name service provider and offer to pay what ever they need to turn it all back on and allow time for the paperwork for an official transfer to take place. Once the site is live, you can get a wget copy and prepare to migrate it to a new site host.

I'd like to get our domain named moved to another site while we get the billing worked out. But the domain name is in the dead guy's name too. I think I can contact the sponsoring registrar to get the domain name back, right? Below is a dump of the output from whois with the dead guy's name and address changed for privacy purposes. I should contact enom.com<http://enom.com> to regain control over our domain, right?
