Did you want to change the IP address of your nameserver or the nameserver record for each domain? Whichever there is a simple web interface or you can do it by email. As long as you are the registered owner/admin or are you saying these domains were registered by your ISP and had their details? > To THIS DAY, years afterward, the process of getting domains back from > them > is so convoluted and difficult and takes so long Transferring domains between registrars is simple whoever they are. You initiate the request via your new registrar. Once satisfied that the request is legitimate they are the ones who contact the old registrar, not you, the old registrar then emails the registered contacts for confirmation. Job done. > (and the people there speak > German and totally avoid you when you need them) Although I sympathize it is a German company what do you expect? > that I still have domains > that are stuck with them. Under ICANN rules the registrant can move a domain name as mentioned above. Paul
