I am emailing a person about possibly buying their domain name that is not in use. I need help with making the content sound professional, and well thought out. It’s fairly short, so there won’t be much editing. I’m taking general suggestions, but typing the sentences the way you think they should be will help me more. The most complete answer gets best answer. Here is the email in its current form.

Dear John Doe,

I am inquiring as to the status of the domain name www.website.com. My company is interested in purchasing the domain if it is not currently in use. Visiting the site suggests that it is parked, pending renewal, or has expired. If you are interested, you may contact me by email or telephone. Thank you for your time. We hope to be doing business with you soon.

Sincerely,

Jim Jones

ICANN: U.S. Moves to Lessen Its Oversight of Internet
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Washington said Wednesday that it would give other governments and the private sector a greater oversight role in an organization that oversees the Internet.

The move follows criticism from European regulators and others that the American government could wield too much influence over a system used by hundreds of millions of people worldwide. Those critics have complained, among other things, about the slow rollout of Internet addresses in languages other than English.

Washington, however, stopped short Wednesday of cutting ties with the organization, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, or Icann. The government agreed instead to establish advisory panels made up of government and private-sector representatives around the world.

The panels will review how open are the decisions made by Icann, whether they reflect the public interest, ensure stability and promote competition for domain names, like those ending in “.com” and other suffixes. Icann decisions could influence what domain names are available, what languages they are in and how much they cost.

“The Internet is on a long-term arch from being 100 percent American to being 100 percent global,” said Rod Beckstrom, the former U.S. cybersecurity chief who joined Icann in July as chief executive. “This is a significant step along that arch to becoming more global.”

Icann has had oversight over domain names under a series of loose agreements with the U.S. government, which financed much of the Internet’s development. The latest expired Wednesday.

Many critics of Icann and its American oversight, including the European Union’s Internet chief, Viviane Reding, saw the expiration as an opportunity to revamp Internet governance.

Ms. Reding praised the new framework in a statement, and said the governments that now have more of a say in Icann should take advantage of the opportunity.

The Commerce Department has a guaranteed seat on only one of those panels, with the remaining representatives to be picked by leaders from Icann and its advisory committee of government officials.

But the panels’ recommendations will not be binding on Icann, and the Commerce Department retains oversight through a separate contract for Icann to handle the nuts-and-bolts of domain name administration. That contract runs through 2011; the new one taking effect Thursday covers Icann’s broader role in setting guidelines and policies.

Icann also agreed to remain a nonprofit organization headquartered in the United States, with offices around the world.

Mr. Beckstrom said some critics abroad might take that to mean Internet governance still is not truly global. But he said the arrangement should ultimately bolster Icann’s standing internationally.

“The U.S. government is saying, ‘O.K., you have become a multistakeholder body. Congratulations. Now on to the next set of challenges,”’ Mr. Beckstrom said.

So I wanted to wait until July 3 2008 to re-purchase my domain.

Hey all,

I have neglected my web page for months and now it seems that my host (hostgator) has expired. i would rather not use them second time around, and would like to go to something more simple like go daddy. Now my main concern is that my domain name is still active, how would i transfer from my expired hostgator account to godaddy or doteasy?

thanks
-tommy

Every time I have a good idea for a website I go and by a domain. But then I lose interest in what I was originally suppose to do. Now I have a few websites that I set to expire next year and I still don’t have any ideas for a website. What should I do?

I want to start a website that will have restaurant/recipe type of “stuff” on there…I will not be selling anything on there “right now.” Anyways…the domain name that I wanted was taken, but when I typed in in the URL, it said that the domain name had expired three days ago. But when I checked on godadddy, It wasn’t available at the moment. I wanted to take that name and add the word “online” to it…so it would be “Blah blah Online.com.” It said that the domain name wasn’t taken, so do you think it’s ok to use that domain name? Or no? I’m so lost, and I’m sure you are after reading this too. Thanks!

1.2 changes by shr:
- file_get_contents() function has been replaced on the getIccupTeamPage() based on sockets
- omptimized performance: the old filters have been removed due to changes in the code on the server side
- added description of the full path to cache file and word ‘full’ has been replaced to ‘absolute’ for better understanding

ver 1.0->1.1 changes by b1te:
-added install steps instruction
-fixed “ICCup is not accessible” while cached file is
-fixed image tag parsing error, which lead to
‘height=… text near country and rank images
-changed user options configuration code
-added statistics column order option
-changed client-side html parsing code
-omptimized overall performance

installation:
1) edit CONFIG section of this file
2) save it to your web-server with the .php extension
-on some servers it may be .php3 , .php4 or .php5
3) add this code line into place where you want ICCup statistics to be displayed:
include_once(‘path’);
where path – is a path to this file on yours web-server
-important: this line must be inserted into some other php module,
not into the site template. except, if you have smarty templates in your
site`s engine then you can this code to it:
{php}include_once(‘path’);{/php}
4) enjoy

I registered www.coolninja.com a while back thinking I could eventually figure out something cool to do with it. Turns out I have no ideas and I’d rather focus on my other sites. Instead of letting it expire, I’d like to see if I can auction it off. What are the best sites for this? I’m on GoDaddy and they have their own auction service. Has anyone sold on here? Are there better one out there? Ebay?

Should I build a basic site or something on it first? Share your experiences!

I want to change the company through which my domain is registered. I am currently paying U$35,00, which I am told is quite a high price. My registration expires on 15th of January 2009 and I don’t want to lose the domain as it is a commercial site. Is it possible to register with a different company and if so, how do I do it?
Also, suggestions of cheaper companies to register with would be welcome.
Thanks
