i won a domain today from an expired auction domain that’s been expired since 6/18/10, only 4 more days to go until it’s mine.. could my name still get snap from a wholeseller like namesnap or network solution, etc. or from a backorder? That is, other than the owner for now.

Last year, January 25, I created a website. Keep in mind, I’m not that educated with this sort of thing, and I just have been trying my best to learn as I go. I went with JustHost.com, and they were a nightmare. I tried to cancel my account, and they wouldn’t let me. I’ll spare you the details, but after 2 months of fighting with them, I contacted a guy who builds & maintains websites for people & businesses for a living. Even he thought it was absolutely ridiculous, the way JustHost was doing business. Anyway, I had to just cancel that particular card that JustHost was charging, so THEY would cancel ME for non-payment. That worked. Well, my website expired Jan 25th, & apparently I am under a “grace period” of some sort. I have no idea how to renew my domain name! I can’t login, because my user name & password was canceled by JustHost when I canceled that card. So I’m totally at a loss as to how I can renew it. I tried calling JustHost, but after a little over an hour of being placed on hold, and having NEVER talked to a live person, I hung up…this was all too familiar from last year, anyway, I have NEVER talked to a live person at JustHost. So …anyone have any bright ideas?

I’m tracking a website that is set to expire this May. I know that there are stages it will go through before the domain name goes up for grabs or enters the deletion phase…

What I’m wondering is, if it does make it to the deletion phase without being bought out or renewed by the original owner, will the website simply disappear?

(note: I have personal info on this website that I cannot access and am wondering what will happen to it. I’m not looking to buy it – I’m hoping it will be wiped from cyberspace…)
