Wondering if someone can help me.
Earlier in the year I went to work for a computer company who offered me cheap web hosting, cheap domain names and pop3 email as I was an employee. I transferred my domains (which I already had) to them and they hosted my site.
I worked for them for about six months and then left (not on bad terms, I thought!). I still have a month left to run on my domain package I took out with them, but my ex-boss has decided to deny me access to anything. He took down my website (which doesn't matter so much as I have it all saved anyway), changed the passwords on my email so I can't send or receive anything (which is affecting my new job as I have to give boss and clients a rubbish-looking freebie address now), but worst of all, he has transferred my domains onto his email address, so that I can no longer access my control panel and get them unlocked and transferred away!
He is also not returning any of my calls, and as you can imagine, I am absolutely furious. I want my domains back! They expire on the 27th November, and I am presuming he won't be insane enough to continue to pay for them himself, so I expect they will just expire.
What I need to know is ... once this happens, how long is it before the domain names become available again?
All advice will be gratefully received.
