  Can anyone help with how I can gain access to an existing website. The person administering it has passed away and we would like to update the website for our village WI.

  @purtoneveningwi, I’m sorry to hear that. Let us know what site you’re trying to access and we’ll try to point you in the right direction.

  For sites hosted here on our servers, you’ll generally need some sort of proof of ownership, proof of payment, or access to the account email:

  Recover Your Account

  If you don’t have that, a close individual could also regain access with the following:

  Deceased Site Owner

  If the site is not hosted on our servers, we can help you find where it’s hosted so you can contact the host.
