Web hosting/domain?

okay I'm gonna ask again just to be sure....here is what is going on. I and this other girl(becky) were members of a site the original owner(brad) decided to give it to us. She transfered the domain name to me. then she transfered the host stuff to Becky. Well then Becky decides that she is the sole owner of the site and I have nothing to do with it anymore. I was wonder what having the domain in my name means and if there is anything that I can do? What is the difference between hosting and the domain? I am so mad lol I don't really now what to do. Thanks for the help!
Web hosting/domain?
You own the brand name and the store front, she owns the warehouse (host).





You can easily find a new warehouse(host), where as this becky girl cannot have your brand name/store front.





As owner of the domain name, you have the power to point the name to whatever host you please. You can point away from becky's host and have it point to your own host.
Web hosting/domain?
you own the domain and she owns the hosting?


You have the rights to the name of the site (i.e www.yahoo.com)


and she has the rights to the hosting of everything on the site, if you wish to have the site hosting moved you can get everything that is on the site and move it to your own hosting site, seen as you own the domain and everything is probably copyrighted to the domain on which it appears. She will then have to find her own domain, and copyright it to herself and really can't do that because you own the domain.
Reply:Well, you are definitely in a strategic point to call some shots. let me get this correct, you own the domain name, she (your friend) owns the host (space where the site pages are kept with the internet service provider), technically she owns the text, images and anything else on the website pages and anything that might be running them. But, you own the site name, whats a site without a name...? You can do whatever you please with that name. say, you could call the internet service provider(ISP) that hosts the website and tell them to transfer the name to another ISP because you want to host a different site. Basically, you can create your own version of the website and with caution not to pick anything from the one that already exists and take your domain name and use it for your new site, and her customers/visitors will now be yours, and all she has is the web pages with no name....so the way it looks to me you have the upper hand, since you own the name, she only owns the pages, so get new space with the current ISP or another one and use the name for new remodelled pages... :)
Reply:who ever the one that has there name on on there is the web host and owner i know i onw my own web on here i have had it for the last 3 years and im going to start it back up again
