What should I do if the person who registered my domain stops responding?

Start by identifying the domain’s registrar and checking who is listed as the registrant, using available WHOIS or RDAP information and your documents. Paying for a website does not automatically prove that its domain is registered in your name.

If you or your company are the registrant, contact the registrar through its official channels and ask about its access recovery procedure. Prepare identification documents and relevant evidence; requirements vary by domain extension and registrar. If someone else is the registrant, their agreement or legal action may be necessary. Also check the expiry date rather than waiting until access has been restored.
