I'm trying to transfer my last domain away from 123-reg before it renews, but their shitty reset password page isn't working for me. :(

I have a hunch it's just broken on my end (and am hoping that the login page isn't), but I don't have time to start experimenting at the moment, so if someone doesn't mind going to https://www.123-reg.co.uk then Control Panel and requesting a password reset for 123reg[at]bpsite.co.uk that would be excellent.

Oh, and please post here if you do - whether it works or not - otherwise they might get lots of requests from disparate IPs and block my account for protection or something. :S

Thanks.

If Feds call you and say something bad on me, it may prove what I said are truth, they are afraid of it.

Thanks, the email came through. Hopefully the rest of the process works now...

FFS! Resetting the password worked, but logging in doesn't. :@

Oh, and the expiry date is tomorrow - I thought it renewed one month in advance - and I don't have valid payment details stored. :(

To make it more fun, this domain is the one all my email goes through...

I managed to get in, and it does have my new card details, despite me not providing them. :/

It also says transfer would take 5-7 days which is bullshit, but since expiry/renewal date is sooner than I thought I guess I'll have to let it renew (at twice the price I would otherwise pay), and then do the transfer afterwards.

Trying to look on the bright side, it could be worse, but still fucking frustrating.

The Domain system should be administered by an international non-profit NGO and not farmed out for ISPs to abuse at will.

Yeah, I've just been pondering the absurdity of paying so much for essentially a fraction of a kilobyte.

And using complex bloated buggy JS interfaces for something that underneath is relatively simple.

An international non-profit that provided a lightweight flexible API would be great, although perhaps only a partial solution.

I've been thinking about just using an IP address. We barely ever type them in anyway.
