Is this Legal… I purchased a Resellers Hosting account from Hostgator they assigned me 2 IP addresses which?

Posted on May 21, 2010 under hostgator.com | 14 Comments

I have been using for over 5 years. I have over 100 domains that I have assigned this IP address to when setting up the name servers. Well this morning I noticed a website being indexed by Google and that site is showing the names servers that I registered which have the IP addresses assign to them. Something said to me try to go to the URL of the name server and see what happens… well to my surprise another company shows up using my DNS. I checked my files on the server thinking someone may have hacked into my account. but the subdomain ns2 does not exsist. now I am confused because the who is registry says the name server is assigned to me. I called the Hosting company and explained what I found there first react was Wow thats odd. Then after about 5 minutes of investing the tech support came back to me and said… Those IP addresses were sold to another company, without any warning to me or even a letter. No phone Call, No email nothing. So I asked why and their response was you don’t own the IP addresses. I said I am not claiming to own the IP address I was only using what Host Gator assigned to me. At the least I think they could have told me to move my sites or cancel my account before the sale was complete. This way I could notify my clients. Some of my clients spend thousands of dollars a month in advertising. This is a major mess. Warning if you own a website and a domain name but do not own the IP addresses you could wake up one morning and you website could be pointing to a Porn site. :-( Is this fair or Legal without notice?
I wonder what would happen if I create a sub-domain under that domain as ns2 and put a page there, what would dominate the IP or the Domain Name?
