ud003: try tracing the direct webhost. it's likely that the person used his payment and contact info as the registrant and would not want to give you the super-user privilege to access it...except he allows it. |

To be in total control, you also have to control the domain name. Politely try to identify the web host using the whois information. Then politely request the EPP code and inform him you want to transfer to a new host. 1 Like |

its simple, just ask him to initiate domain name transfer. this you will do after you have identified the Hosting company of your choice. |

this is why I encourage building from ground up not using some CMD, CMS, et al., this way you can easily port to a new host irrespective of who's in charge of hosting payment. 1 Like |

It's in two ways bro. 1* if the hosting account is yours. I mean, you own the account. Just request for the login details from him and tell him you want to take over from him. 2. If your websites is hosted on his own hosting account. Probably all he does is to request for a fee from you and add to it to renew the account. Tell him you want to move your website to another hosting that he should grant you an access. NB: ensure you think over it we'll before you move to away from him cos renewal fees of some Web hosting is just too outrageous considering the current exchange rate. But then you can go for a Web hosting whose renewal fee is the same as soon as sign up fee. God Bless 1 Like |

Your administrator must have bought you hosting on his own details..i.e contact email, Dollar account and all..he may have as well placed you on shared hosting if he has a big one that your own site can take from... Either way, you will need his authorisation because the moment you purchase your own hosting & request for transfer of domain, the new host maybe, godaddy will send message to your former host who will in turn send epp authorisation code to your Admin contact which he must supply before you can go further! Otherwise, be ready to lose your former name which may require the slightest adjustment possible to start afresh! That being said, for anyone who wants to open a new website please check my signature and get value for money! I assure you, in Convergence ITC Services Co Ltd...we don't hold clients on the jugular to continue with us, from the beginning we set all your web works on your contact info...so that...but I bet you won't want to say goodbye when you do business with us!

Re: How Can I Take Over The Hosting Of My Site by unitysheart(m): 7:10am On Sep 16, 2016 |
The quote below has said it all. My main fear is you may lose your domain name. If you designed your site by yourself as you have said, it means you have your files up to date with you, except maybe your database if it is a db site, So you can move anytime you wish. But, you must get the domain name information from him to be able to host your files answer else and link to the domain name. Please ask him politely. He may request some money from you. bigeagleeye:OK. |
Re: How Can I Take Over The Hosting Of My Site by slightlyMad(f): 7:15am On Sep 16, 2016 |
let me guess, your hosting expired and he said you have to pay more (thanks to exchange rate) then you are looking at getting it done yourself, right? you can just ask him. but my advice is, if he is asking for something in the range of a 50% increase, you better let him continue doing it because it is very expensive these days as servers reside in foreign countries and your provider is probably paying $$$ to get the server running. |

Even the most recommended hosts on Nairaland do the same thing. They try to lock you in and design your website to be presented from a database on their own website. With thenCMS there. After the struggle of paying high exit fees which they lie to you that they are charged for existing their hosting plans early. You are now faced with a website that does not work once they hand it over. Now comes the kicker: they need payment to reconfigure the website on your new host. NIGERIAN designers are fraudsters |

ud003 do any of this. Contact your friend and ask him to give you your hosting details (he can help you setup your own hosting account with your details if only you can't) I guess he install the cms you use for you from his cpanel (an addon is the perfect word). Just talk to him I believe he will not deny you your right. I am sure going to find who is you guys hoster may not work. Since they will only think you're trying to hijacked his site (your friend) |

ud003: Are you having issues with him? Anyway, you most politely approach him to iron it out smoothly. But if you don't mind changing the domain name, then headover to ur domain registrar of choice and create a new account to upload your files there. Since you said you designed the site, then it means you have access to the files. If you still want your old domain name, wait for it to expire then be the first to register it. 1 Like |

Just tell him to change the name servers or give you the authorisation code. You can call segun on 08034186929 to arrange a cheap hosting for you, maybe around N5,000. Tell him you are from Steve. |

Re: How Can I Take Over The Hosting Of My Site by peteonline: 10:02am On Sep 16, 2016 |
I have not seen the best response yet. All you have to do is to first of all let the person know that you want to host it yourself. You must do this because he has the cPanel (if there is one) and other login details to your hosting account. If you want to know who the host it and also find out the correct pricing of your hosting plan (if you want to compare with what the gy charge you), all you have to do is: go to www.who.is and type in the website name and search. The details of the site will be printed on the screen. This is free and you can do it yourself You don't neccessary have to pay anyone. I have put up many web hosting tutorials and tweaks on www.mymobnet.com and you may want to check it out. |

Do you have access to the website? That is control panel? Then you can backup and move your website very easily. Do you have access to the domain? If he registered the domain with his own details, request that the whois be updated with your own email. After it is done, simply request the EPP key of the domain and transfer it to a host of your choice. The domain is the first and most important thing. The rest can be done easily. NB: If he has many websites he manage from the same account, he can not give you access to his client area for you to make renewals, but you can move it to a host of your choice and have control over the website management. |
