  1. I'm jumping back into the fray! I've dabbled a bit here and there in building websites and helping a family member with theirs, but most of what I do is Google search/trial and error learning. At one point I had their website running with PayPal buttons for their store and was looking at getting more involved (like with Zen Cart), hosting it with MDD. I had to take a break for more than a year and someone else took over their website stuff. Now the family member has asked me to come back and set it up again. This time however I've got a bit of a domain mess to figure out and I don't know how to go about doing it, so any help/advice would be greatly appreciated! Domain A (main .com one): Stolen by GoDaddy a few years ago when I accidentally let it lapse in registration. They still hold it, WHOIS listing domainsbyproxy. Oh joy. It expires in March and I'm hoping by some miracle I can get it from them, because we would really like it back without paying an arm/leg/torso, or having to use GoDaddy (ugh). Are backordering/acquiring services the only way to go here? Domain B (main .net one): Registered through Melbourne IT, the registrar behind Microsoft Office Live when it was running. I simply kept renewing it for one year at a time through them, and it expires in February, so I need to figure out how whether I want to keep it with Melbourne IT, or transfer it somewhere else (and how do I do that?)... Domain C ("store" .com one): a related domain registered by the person who was doing website stuff while I took a break. Short story is that they disappointed my family member greatly and I'm being asked to reclaim what I can from them. The domain expires in February also and I need to know timing wise when I should approach them to get the domain from them and what I need to ask them for to make it happen. Finally, I'm trying to get together a cost list so my family member knows how much getting all three domains together in one place is going to be, so any help there would be great as well. I know MDD offers these services in some form, but I'm having a heck of a time finding prices all in one place without entering everything in separate in my actual client area... Thanks again everyone.
