domain-tempacct

both the us.

they're a giant corporation. i don't want to fight them. i just want to recover.

about 50. no.

this is very interesting

hostnames: yes. subdomains and similar things like txt records: no.

sorry to reply here, looks like i can't reply to your other comment because it's too deep

it's not that i "have a new registrar" per se

it's that when i go to a new registrar and say "hey, my old registrar is abusing me and won't give me the zone files, can you help" they say "just get the zone files" on customer service patrick star mode :(

i don't know, maybe i'm being unreasonable?

i just want to keep my domains up

if i have to go to a lawyer i will but i really don't want to, that sounds very expensive and i'm worried the old registrar will escalate if i do that

i just want my zone files so i can leave, you know?

I feel like all I really need is for the old registrar to provide the existing configuration files

The new registrar is happy to consume them directly and re-create them

> Can you use the AXFR or IXFR command to list the zone?

I don't know what this means.

> Do you have e.g. a bind .jnl file of one of the NS behind the zone, because you can re-create the text form of the zone from the binary zone state in journal.

I don't believe that I do. I just used the web interface to set the domains up.

> Do you know how to talk to the Registry, rather than a registrar, because you own the domain, and even under contract for service, its your name, not their name unless you signed a very awkward contract.

I don't

> Do you have a lawyer? I think you need one.

I guess I might have to get one?

I wish I could just get the zone files and leave. I don't want to create a fuss.
