  I already own a domain name, but I have never used it – my first web-site is the one I set up yesterday using WordPress. Two years ago I paid to ‘own’ the name for five years, but not for any hosting. I no longer have the documents showing me who I registered the name with, is there a central register which I can access to find out? Thank you.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Thanks Tandava108. I have found and, I hope, changed, the nameservers for my domain. Fingers crossed.
