Lost access to my domain, can't get on website to change domain

[bree1818]

So I lost access to my domain, and I have been all over my site's coding and the database and I can't figure out how to change the domain so that I can still view the store as a subdomain to my main domain. It keeps redirecting back to the store domain that I no longer have access to. Anyone able to tell me how to access my store again?

Do You have ftp access ?

[bree1818]

No I don't. It's not letting me in.

[led24ee]

So You don't have any access ? No ftp. No SQL ? No anything ?

[bree1818]

I can access the SQL. If it's within my file manager and within my web host's dashboard, I can access the coding.

This can be hard but there is SQL table xx_configuration, where you can find info about URL. But there is also risk that You can lost any access. If You don't have any other possibility then You can try to modify this. But best solution is to get again control of this domain.

Thanks guys. I called my domain registrar and someone got it in a 2 hour lapse and now wants me to pay a premium for it, so I'm trying to figure out what to do from there.

You can either pay premium price or you can search for new domain name.

I understand how it works. Just don't really want to pay the premium to scalpers.

Which domain provider (registrar) do you use if that is not a secret?

You are using domain, but You don't have any control of this ? I don't know details (looks like someone stole this domain), but if so then this looks quite stupid, because You have given all possibilities to blackmail. If You still have access to SQL then first of all copy all tables. Installing a new shop is not so hard, but lost all data is very annoying. After database copying can think, maybe it is worth to try with some other domain. But then again, I don't know details.

Something does not add up here.

What happened to my domain is neither here nor there. The point is I can't access it and I needed to figure out how to get back into my shop.
