Welp bad news. Called host gator. They could activate it again, was $40 behind. Gave them my credit card #, then asked them before they charged to check to make sure all the files are there. They said it looks like all the files are gone =( Soooooo...looks like we have to start over. I do own forums...

lol: ForumsHq.com is a Premium Domain Name Premium Domain Names are more valuable than other domains because they are based on common words or phrases people often use in their online searches. While Go Daddy does not own these domains names, we are one of a select group of registrars that can intro...

If you can do it with just the info I have above (ip, nameservers) let me know and I will give them a call and pay for a month

Yeah they said we could pay for a month, would have to call and have them do that though. Do you know the account name it was under? like the /~accountname Why does that matter? If they know the account is in tact can't they just reactivate it and tell us the IP to use? We can add a local dns entry...

I have contacted hostgator where it was hosted, they was able to give me the server IP, 174.132.114.66, but could not give me the account name of course. So would be like /~forumshq.com/ etc, which I tried that one, did not work lol

Or hell if we can even find out the url of the account on there, like hostgator.com/~forumshq.com/ whatever, ill be glad to pay hostgator for a month or two so we can access it that way.

Well, im not sure if there is any way to spoof a host name is there? If so, we could spoof forumshq.com over to hostgators name servers (i have the server numbers), and then bring the board back up that way to get a mirror off of it.

Does anyone know the IP address the server was on and the / name? Like 218.33.288/~forumshq or something like that? I can spare the cash to pay for the hosting, but we would have to use back channel like that to access the site.

I was talking to AA via PM on mmb about taking over the site and then the domain expired. Had his phone # etc in my inbox but never wrote it down and was never able to get in contact with him after. The Forumshq.com domain name went up for auction on godaddy after it expired, and just sold for $211....
