Domain name lost?

Hi guys.
I am the owner of Philosophy of Hair, which is a salon in Cyprus. I bought and registered the domain name 'Philosphyofhair.com' a few years ago through a guy who designed my web site. To cut a long story short, my web site was not very good and needed a lot of work. However the designer sold the company and left leaving me with a web site i didn't like. The new company failed to keep appointments for meetings that we arranged and i kind of left things for a while. As i understand the hosting was with WEB HOSTING UK so i wonder if someone can help me to get my domain name back.
Thanks.

As per our billing records, I'm sure that your domain was neither registered with us nor hosted on our server's. Also, through WHOIS details, I find that your domain : Philosphyofhair.com is in available status. In this case, you can get the same domain registered with any registrar for your business purpose.

Thanks for your reply.
I still find that the domain name philosophyofhair.com is taken. I will look into exactly what is going on with it as i feel someone somewhere (on my side) is feeding me some lies. It was (i'm told) registered to me. The company that dealt with it here was advertising cyprus if that helps.

Thanks for update.... It seems that your domain was hosted with one of our reseller who no longer have an active hosting account with us. Domain is still registered under our registry.

You need to place an order for one of our hosting package and will have to ask Advertising Cyprus(Boot Technology) to email our billing department to change domain registry details under your name so that we can link hosting and domain registry for you.
This way you will have access to your domain name and hosting account.

Thanks for your reply,

I'm not really up with how this works. Does this mean that i would own my domain name again? I have a friend who has their own server and the idea is that they will host my site free for me. So what i really need is to gain control and ownership of it again. Will taking the course of action advised get me this result?

Yeah, provided you order hosting account with us. You can go with most basic hosting package with us so that domain registry can be added under your account also you need to contact Advertising Cyprus(Boot Technology) to email our billing department to change domain registry details for your domain name.
