Hi Alain

The domain was a .com

The domain was owned by the guy who's site it is (however he's not very
technical and someone else bought the domain in his name), and was bought
through Easyspace. Now owned by a company called ActiveIdeas.com via
ColorandoNamesDomains.com

From what I can tell with the info I've got the domain has been classed as
"locked" and as far as I was aware it was sold.
