I use free hostia (mistake I wont do that again), and dont know the username or pass to my old account, and when I tried to contact them, they said that they have no proof that it is me. Can I just buy it back from myself somehow? do I just have to wait until it expires?
no but seriously i'm sure the username and pw is in some email they sent u. if not y dont u try calling or writing them and demand to talk to a manager.
You need to contact [email protected] from the email that you signed up. There are a bunch of threads like that on their forum: http://forum.freehostia.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=65632 http://forum.freehostia.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=65192 http://forum.freehostia.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=63333 They will send you your login credentials to your email.
I would contact them and see if they will resend the welcome email to you. Do you still have access to the email that you used to sign up with? If not might be easier just to start again. Or see if you can transfer the domain out and hope there is not a domain lock on it.
If your photo ID matches the whois info they should be able to create a new login & password. I would definitely contact a supervisor instead of the normal cs person. Good luck.
