How do I get a domain name?

How can I get my domain name back ?

• On October 26 I had transfered my domain name from my registrar to a hosting service company by purchasing one month unlimited plan for my trial experience. Now I want to relaunch my website with another hosting company. But I can't excess my control panel to change the DNS. I'm trying to excess it from * mydomainname.com/cpanel * I won't pay another one month rent to just excess my control panel and change the DNS because technically that will power up my domain name due to my registrar's link up with this hosting company's nameserver I guess. :/ I know my hosting service company's account is suspended because of non payment but look at it this way.. See, they gave me their hosting service for one month. I had linked up my domain name with their nameserver and paid them for their hosting service. Time passed by and deal got over in one months. Now I just want my domain name back from them because that's entirely mine. Please tell me am I right or wrong and how can I excess my control panel Waiting for your reply guys ! :)

• Answer:

  Once you transfer a domain name to someone you need to physically make the transfer somewhere else. You never own a domain name, just the registration for it. You should have transferred it out while you were still active. You can ask another registrar to take it over, but the existing company may then charge for the transfer.
