It's against my better judgment to get in a flame war, but I must add; Even though I am the *Helpdesk* Coordinator for Cotse, I am also a unix admin at my regular job. I have seen first hand how management will "wave their hand" over a security issue.
If management won't dedicate the time/money to provide proper security, it won't get done, no matter how dedicated the admin is.
See the problem with this theory is, even though you change the DNS at your registrar, if you are only running a locally known domain, for your local small-town community to see, and if you had that site hosted on a small town ISP, the one that won't give up the DNS.... well, if they still resolve that domain to their servers, and most people in that lil town use that ISP... then most people in that town will only get the old page... I've ran into this before. Go through legal channels, they have no legal right to highjack the site.

Although I was afk most of the day, I did check in once in awhile to see if anyone was experiencing any trouble. While I thought the entire day would pass without an email to the Cotse Helpdesk or a visit to #helpdesk chat, lo and behold one email made it to me by the end of the day. Ah well... so much for a day (completely) off;p
