newbie DESPERATE for domain help!

Hey everyone.

Thank you all so much for the advice.

Melbourne IT have come to the party and I finally spoke to the guy who handles yahoo reseller accounts. He advised me to put in a claim for them to re issue me with my registry keys for the domains so I am waiting on a response to that. (does any one know how long that process should take?)
Fetish1 : yes, ignorance is no excuse, I just signed up on the recommendation of a friend. I didn't intend to end up with porn sites, it was just a place to post my writing to begin with, and kind of exploded, I will never again skip the TOS ! it was only at the last second they changed their story to yahoo deactivating due to breach of TOS though,for the first two days they told me my account had been compromised and "someone" other than yahoo had done it. I purchased 8 very adult sounding domain names from them and arranged hosting without anyone saying anything. I know it was 100% my responsibility to read them, but I honestly didn't have a clue until this happened

Jel what a fantastic idea. I am really lucky, one of my readers had my whole content up until Dec stored on his computer, I only just found out and just got the files back today *grins* but for at least one other site that will save a lot of headaches. Unfortunately the rest were brand new and not listed yet.

Still if all goes well I have learned a HUGE lesson (and intend to hang around here and learn a few more the easy way) and ended up with more than I expected a few weeks ago when it seemed I had lost the lot.

So again a huge thank you to all who tried to help, I really appreciated it as Im aware it was a situation caused by my stupidity *blushes*
