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
Registry Status: clientRenewProhibited
Registry Status: clientTransferProhibited
Registry Status: clientUpdateProhibited
Does this mean it will never be up for grabs??

you can pay like 18 usd and reserve it so in case the real owner will not renew his purchase it will become yours at once but if renews it yu lose your money, i think the only way is to negotiate with the owner if he is willing to sell
Most likely the domain name you are looking for is owned by a domain squatter and there is no immediate way for you to buy that name.
What you can do is wait until the expiry time and check again to see whether the domain name is renewed.
If the domain is not renewed for a length of time after expiration, that domain goes back into the available pool.
It’s about ther same as buying anything else that someone else owns – the chances are slim to none.
You could pay to park on it at godaddy, but it might be set for automatic renewal – all my sites are, even the ones I’m not currently using.
Your best bet is to try an find contact information on the site itself, and make an offer just like you would for anything else already owned by someone else.
You can go to GoDaddy or some other domain reseller to find out who owns the domain. With that info, contact the owner and offer to buy it from them. If they aren’t using it, they may be willing to part from it. You may have to pay a little more for it but if you really want it, it may be worth it.
Good luck
