Hi, I received a message that my club's website will be shut down and I need to find a new registrar for the domain. Is this something you can help me with?


website: adlibs.toastmastersclubs.org/

Please post your club number with all posts.

All charter Toastmasters Clubs can have a freetoasthost website. We do support custom domain names

Please read the documentation on this site.

Hi Brian,

Below is a section of the email that I received, does this make sense to you?

Carl was a domain registrar via a company called eNom. The normal practice is to put the domains in the registrar's name, not the real owner. Therefore, adlibs.org is technically "owned" by Carl Eric Johnson & Company. You need to find a new registrar for the domain. Most people are transferring it to their hosting accounts. If I don't hear from someone by Sept. 17th, the site will close down and it can take up to 6 months before you can reclaim it.

You need to transfer your domain to a new registrar.
There are a million out there, some use enom and others use gogaddy or there are so many others.

Chose a registrar and contact them on how to set up an account and how to transfer your domain.

Do you have a recommendation, this is new to me.

www.godaddy.com

Great, thanks for your input and the quick response.

Hi Brian,

I just received an email from the prior domain admin, and she said the following, see below. Should I still move forward with godaddy.com?


Email from prior domain admin...
"Steve, I cannot determine via eNom if FreeToastHost is an eNom reseller or not. If they are, then I will need their account name in order to push the account over. If they are not, then they will need to pull it using the EPP key."

and keep in mind that your site is always available at #####.toastmastersclubs.org whereas the ### 's are your club number.. This is available even if the domain name expires on your custom name.

You don't seem to be using a domain name. adlibs.toastmastersclubs.org is a FTH address using adlibs as an alias, That is all part of the "Free" in FreeToastHost. Perhaps you had a domain name in the past but have stopped using it anyway, so there would be no need to renew it.

you can find out more about aliases and domain names here: support.toastmastersclubs.org/doc/item/a...whats-the-difference

FreeToastHost does not sell domain names. What we do is to allow you to associate your FreeToastHost website to a domain name that you purchase through a domain name registrar such as GoDaddy or others. Alternatively, a website alias is a free feature that is available via the system that allows you to accomplish some of the same benefits of purchasing a domain name, except for free.
