Liam asked:


Im being told that someone has pre-booked my domain name because you have to redo your domain 5 months before it expires otherwise legally someone can book the domain name for when it expires? is this true because I currently own a website with a lot of public on it and its making a slight revenue growing each day?

So basically can someone get my domain name before it even expires which means I cant just re get it before it expires in march 2011

How do I get my domain back? It says it’s in a “Redemption” period?

_________________________________________
Hi,
I have a “Blogger” account & paid last year to have a www. address along with it. I paid to renew it this July (and have a screen shot to prove it), but Google Apps made some type of mistake that they can’t explain or resolve. When I go to GoDaddy (that’s who Google Apps has you buy it through), it says my account is in a “Redemption Period” and that the account expired in August. Google Apps has been no help and GoDaddy could only suggest that I get back in touch with Google or wait 90 days and hope to grab it when it goes back into circulation.

How do I get my domain back?

Cyber Renegade asked:


Hello,
I want to include a code on my site, this script will display the visitor’s name but they would have to enter it before entering the site, and then a cooky would be put there, welcoming them back.
My issue is that if the person press escape it will say “Hello null!” I want to change it to “Hello Visitor if they decide to ignore the message box.
Please view the below code, tidy and fix it if you can, if anyone know a better code please share.

Thanks.

Cyber Renegade asked:


Hello,

I found this code that can display a visitor’s name. However, there is an extra bit I don’t want, the last visit date of the visitor, can someone tidy this up a bit?

NewCode:
this code is rather long can someone tidy it up a bit? I do not want the last visit time, just the name and the option to change the name.
thanks

Please get read of parts that is not needed e.g the author.

Thanks!

The Academic Activist asked:


My website domain is soon to expire and will enter a “Renewal Hold”. I don’t wish to renew the domain name with the current host I am with (Streamline.net) as I find them absolutely shambolic. How would I go about transferring the domain to another host whilst in this renewal hold, and then renewing it with that new host?

This is the script for the same:

B asked:


I would like to buy a certain website to use for my business. It is currently set to expire later this month. The current owner is a small non computer industry related company located on the pacific coast. The domain name is actually being used to host a website for an entirely different small business located in a state rather far away. That business is a local area business, and not a company that operates nationally or internationally. If for some reason the owner does not “auto renew” and the domain expires and I am able to purchase it through some company like Go Daddy, will I be able to use it myself, especially if the current user is not the same company that previously owned it? If they had a lease agreement with the original domain owner, would I be bound by that or could I immediately “repossess” the domain? Assuming I buy the domain name, and the current user is unaware of that, and their site still continues to be functional under whatever current hosting arrangement they have, would it be possible for me to take possession and have my own site put up and the domain transferred without going through any formal notification or legal process, and wait for them to contact me after the fact?

Is there an industry standard “grace period” in which a former owner can automatically reclaim an expired domain name, or would ICANN force me to give it back to them even if I have a legitimate business use for the name myself? In this case, the current USER may NOT be the same entity as the former OWNER, so would the former OWNER be the only one with standing who could bring such a claim?

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.
