: Can I buy a domain from myself if WHOIS privacy is enabled? I have a domain with Hosting Company A, and I want to move it to Hosting Company B. I have tried to disable the WHOIS privacy

I have a domain with Hosting Company A, and I want to move it to Hosting Company B. I have tried to disable the WHOIS privacy on Hosting Company A's web application, but it appears not to have worked. I also cannot even reach Hosting Company A. When I run the command-line whois program, I see that the WHOIS database has been updated, yet the private information is still there. I need WHOIS privacy disabled to transfer the domain, according to Hosting Company B. Would purchasing the domain from myself through Hosting Company B be an option? Can I purchase the domain from myself to transfer it, since Company A is effectively keeping it hostage?

Firstly, check that the domain company is not a reseller. If they are, contact the company they buy domains from, the registrar.

If you are getting no satisfaction from the primary registrar, lodge a complaint with ICANN - they can sort this sort of thing out.
