    Not sure if I need access to woocommernce but it seem he was using this so I could sell products aswell.

  • Hi @andrewway6 – I’ve looked into the domain and it has DNS records which point to what I believe to be your friend’s website mistermoustache.ch. That domain has DNS which points to what might be a hosting provider, tizoo.com.

    I’m unable to find anything on the domain registration itself, unfortunately.

    Because the site is not hosted with us, I’m afraid there’s nothing we can do to directly influence what you are trying to accomplish. Our best guidance at this point is to reach out to tizoo to see if they can help in any way.

    Again we’re so sorry for your loss. If there’s anything else we can help with here at WordPress.com, let us know please.
