Are there any regulations for responsible website hosting?

I volunteer in helping AGATE to maintain their website.

The password was lost in a move, and has been requested umpteen million times, to no avail.

And the phone/fax numbers for Freespaces.com listed in the whois directory have been disconnected!

We have also contacted the underlying globalmedia.com to no avial, since the phone number is the same!

The underlying registrar for the above domains is moniker.com.

They have also been contacted to no avail.

WE HAD TO MOVE TO ANOTHER HOST IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN THE SITE!!!! 2 YEARS AGO!!!

Meanwhile, the 2-year old site is still up, and confuses our audience.

Is there any means to have this old site taken down by a government authority?

Yeah you%26#039;ll have to contact the internic directly. They will require your original documentation and receipts.

a the companies you listed are private companies and your only option is legal action, however the cost of retaining an attorney is most likely more than your hosting cost, not much you can do that i know of!
