Regretfully I have paid an extremely dodgy local business to build my website and to provide its domain name for a 5 year period. There have been ongoing problems throughout the last year and about 10 days ago, when the site was exactly 1 year old, the web designer failed to make an annual payment for the domain name, so my site has been shut down. Full details of the case ( and of at least one other local business having the same trouble) have been sent to Nominet, and they have now intervened. I understand that the name of the person who is registered as the owner of the site is about to be transferred away from the web-designer and over to me, so I'll get full control of the site for the first time.
Meanwhile, that annoying message will keep popping up.
