How do I find out who hosts the DNS for a wiki? Also, how do I make the changes to the DNS? I took over Admin duties for the wiki because there was no one else who would take it. So I would need to be walked through this like I am a 5 year old. I got the DNS change email with this link https://issue-tracker.miraheze.org/T13309 Also, are there any suggestions for a new DNS host. Thanks.
Also, this is the Daria wiki.

Do you know who the person who pays for the custom domain is?
rough torrent
No, the person who set it up wiki or had taken it over has stepped away from the fandom and then the person who took over needed to step down. I talked to them and they didn't know what this all meant.

@rough torrent what's the wiki's domain
rough torrent
the domain dariawiki and the primary domain is miraheze. I found this under Manage this wiki's core settings and both are greyed out.

What's the custom domain
tall schooner
Okay, someone associated with the wiki will have registered dariawiki.org with https://www.hover.com
Do you know who that is?
Or how to login to that?

I have never heard of it before, I will need to make an account I guess.

Nope
Someone has an account
rough torrent
I don't know who does though. The person who I think did left the fandom and the person who took over for them doesn't have access either.
rough torrent
Thanks

@rough torrent did you have any luck finding out who owns the domain?
rough torrent
No I haven't. The person who I thought might have done it got in touch and said they didn't and they didn't know who owns it wither.

@rough torrent would you like me to open a ticket with Hover and seeing if they can help us work out who?
rough torrent
If you could that would be great, thank you.
amber ore
@tall schooner would there be anything useful in old managewiki logs
tall schooner
I can't see a task on the commit
But maybe
I opened a ticket with Hover and emailed the email on the Whois record so we'll see
@rough torrent can you ask anyone who you think it could be to check their email?
See if they've had anything from me or contact privacy
rough torrent
I can do that.
tall schooner
Unfortunately, if that doesn't get us anywhere within the deadline then we'll have to withdraw your custom domain
Someone is paying for it though
So they must exist
rough torrent
We have been wondering who it could be, we wonder if they are on an autopay that they have stopped paying attention to. I have feelers out for them to get in touch with me.
What happens if the custom domain is withdrawn? Will we be able to get another domain or would we have to restart the wiki?
tall schooner
You will revert to dariawiki.miraheze.org
But you can buy another custom domain and we can change it
