I have a domain name: puebla.ws . I lost my own records of when I purchased it exactly. The whois database shows that the domain was created on October the 19th, 2002, but these guys say that the domain was expiration was yesterday !
Now the domain seems to be rented or something like that. These guys at oriweb does not respond my mails! also, they sent me a link 2 days ago, to pay by credit card, but that was after requesting it again and again, from about a week before the supposed expiration day. Once I had the link, last weekend, I tried lots of times to pay this domain, but something did not worked good, and today, I find the domain shows a content from somebody else.
I would like some expert advise to see what I can do to recover my domain, also, I want to change my domains from this registrar to another one, but I do not know how to do it.
Can somebody please help me?

Thanks.

This problem is solved already.
The registrar sent me an e-mail with an "official excuse" The said that the sistem had an error and changed the expiration date of the domain.

I was able to recover the domain of The Domain.

Thank you very much for your help.

Regards.

I would suggest heading over to another registrar...even if they fixed it, that whole mess seems a bit shady..
Check out godaddy.com, just use the 'transfer my domain' section and fill out the forms correctly, and you'll have a new registrar..
