My late fathers website

[Clairedempsey]

Please can someone help? My late father had a registered website. Simplywriting.co.uk it has some really special writings and memories for his grandchildren. But I cannot access it at all. It just says page cannot be found. How do I reactivate his website? Can someone help me.
Regards Claire

hi ,I think you would have to know who it was registerd with and contact them,if it even could be reactivated ,im not sure ,but if he created the site himself,he would have had to use his computer to do so ,or I guess he could have used a unlike site maker of some sort , ,all the special writings and memories would be store on his computer somewhere

Claire,

Contact the customer support group at http://www.streamline.net to see if they can assist you with this. Hopefully they still have documentation as to where the site was hosted, and if it was hosted with their systems, at worst case, they should be able to retreive the site from a backup.

good luck, hope you are successful.
