Thanks a million, Ben. A lot more info than we get from within castle EU. But still a wee bit anonymous?

Who is this registrar, that needs to be privacy protected like this? Surely somebody must know?

The plot thickens...

Domain Status: clienttransferprohibited

This status code tells your domain's registry to reject requests to transfer the domain from your current registrar to another.

This status indicates that it is not possible to transfer the domain name registration, which will help prevent unauthorized transfers resulting from hijacking and/or fraud. If you do want to transfer your domain, you must first contact your registrar and request that they remove this status code.

So, we are fucked until the person that has hijacked our domain gives up trying to make money from it?

So it's still pointing to a website under control by Marco d'Itri, who I think has had it under his control for the last decade or longer. Ward knows...

Well, in the meantime I've been contacted by the person, that out of his own
pocket has paid for the domain for almost a decade now -- struggling with a partially defunct, Italian only, site and no cooperation from Marco. Kudos to said person!

The domain is in good hands, and if we all are patient, I'm confident that, with the assistance of Joacim, we soon will have an updated, working domain once again.

bad advise !

if registra did that owner could loose domain, registra changes is not needed to get the homepage or service location changed

its often enough to change nameservers

proper way to change registra is with EPP code
