I want to purcahse a domain name but it is already in use. There is nothing on the website though. It re directs you to some other site so techinally, you can’t even pull up the domain I want to buy. The website it re-directs you too, also has nothing on it.

I checked under WhoIs but it’s registered privately under www.domainsbyproxy.com. So I can’t get any contact information.

The website it brings you too hasn’t been updated since 2007 same with the website I am interested in buying.

I found out it will expire in Jan 2009. How can I go about getting it?

Also.. I found this on it’s registered host godaddy.com . Not sure what it means..

Registry Status: clientDeleteProhibited

I really want a particular domain name. It is previously registered, but the the registration expires in November. It was a two year registration and it is not an actual site, it’s parked. So I think the registrar owns it. It has a private registration but seems like these guys do that.

Anyway, should I wait until the expiration date and try to buy it then or try to contact the owner? I don’t want to use a broker seems like a waste of money. They also offer a “back order” option too sounds like BS. Is it likely that the registrar would just let the registration expire or would they be evil and snatch it up again?

I have the exact same domain except its dot net not dot com. Thoughts?
Good advice. I’m going to sit on this one for a while. No deal!

I got a domain name and hosting from yahoo. I cancelled the hosting. I heard from several ppl it’s next to impossible to get your domain name transferred from yahoo. I don’t have the time to waste a lot of time trying to get what I paid for out of yahoo’s clutches. The domain is set to expire next month anyway. How can I get it to where I have all my other domains? I don’t want someone else to get it. Can I renew it on the same day it expires? What’s the easiest way I can get it back?

Hi. So most .com names that are about to expire can be purchased through places like snapnames. But where do I go to purchase a .dk domain (Denmark) that is about to drop ? Is there even such a service available for .dk domains ?
Att. Sibbi S. Unfortunately that company aren’t offering domain drop service. Just domain registration.
I thank you for your effort anyway !

The .com domain I want is currently taken. I found that it doesn’t expire for another year… I need a website in the meantime.

The domain is available with a .net extension… So my question is, in your opinion, would it be more effective to get a.net domain or a similar .com with an added word?

Example: www.johnsmith.net OR www.justjohnsmith.com

Thanks in advance for expert opinions!!

1. Is it safe to register my domain name with WebsitePalace.com? Have you have tried their services before? what can you say?

2. If the registration of a domain name expires – what happens to the domain name? What is domain name transfer? is it possible to transfer the domain name from current registrar to ANOTHER registrar even if it still within the subcription time?

I have an existing domain name with another registrar, but this current registrar don’t want to release the domain name so I can’t register it with another registrar what should I do?

If the domain name registration expires what will happen to the domain name? will I be able to use it? If expirty is the answer to getting my domain name back – how will I know that I can use the domain name again? where will I look to see that the domain name is available?

3. If I register my domain name with WebsitePalace.com will there be google ads appearing on my website?

4. What is private registration of domain name?

I have browsed the question archives but I can’t seem to find an answer to my question…

Is there a way to find out WHEN a registered domain name expires?

I know how to find out if someone owns it, and who the owner is…But I can’t seem to find a site that tells you how long it is registered for.

I ask, because I have a specific domain that I want (it’s taken) and I want to backorder it in hopes of obtaining it when it expires…But if it is registered for another 10 years, I don’t want to waste my time or money doing so.

Thank you in advance!

I’ve just been looking for domain names that are appropriate for my work. My ideal .co.uk domain is taken, however when I checked the WHOIS register, it was registered on 28/02/02, last updated on 15/11/07 but the Registration Status is now at ‘Renewal Required’ as re-registration was due on 29/02/08. Is there any way that I can purchase this domain or is there a period of time in which the current owner is allowed sole opportunity to re-buy the name?

Through my journalism program we opened an account at ixwebhosting and registered 2 domain names. They expired in december but i can renew the herchenrother.com one for free on the original account.

My goal for the domain to be controlled by Neil Herchenrother on a seperate account than the one we have on ixwebhosting. is it possible to transfer this if i renew it? When googled a company called e3auctions is auctioning it off but i have 75 days before they can truly sell it.

I am currently looking to buy a website. I see that the expiration date is Nov 2009. Is this the expiration date of the domain name? What exactly does that mean. The site is registered with godaddy.com
About how much would it be to renew the domain name?
