And how is it that the mod would ONLY have access to the webhosting, and not the rest of the information. That doesn't logically make sense. I have websites, generally speaking I could download all of the information for the website on the same page I could change server settings/ redirects/ etc...
Larger sites don’t work like your consumer grade web hosting, where owning the domain == owning the hosting entirely. Bigger sites separate the domain, DNS and the infrastructure into separate bits. He only owned the domain registration, which allows him to change where the domain’s DNS is located, but doesn’t give access to the servers.
So you redirect? This is some suspicious shit...
Yeah, as opposed to what? We sat VERY UNCOMFORTABLY with the domain under his control for months and months.
