Could This Be Cybersquatting Problem?

6 replies
I just registered bestanchorageautodealers.com and installed wordpress but I am seeing bestanchorageautodealers.com is not available any time I try to access the page.

Could this be a cybersquatting ( or whatever it is call ) problem?

      Incidentally, Cybersquatting has to do with someone registering domain names that are popular or of specific insterest in the hopes of selling them for a lot more than it cost them to register.

      For example, if I were to go register yommys.com, I'd contact you (or wait for you to contact me) and offer it for $300.

      Here's a lot more info on it:

      There's a lot of confusion about cybersquatting and what you (and Wikipedia) describe is not cybersquatting.

      Cybersquatting is registering a trademarked name or trademark typo in hopes of cashing in on traffic diverted from the true trademark holder.

    I see your default wordpress blog just fine. Don't know what to tell you, perhaps you're typing in the wrong url or something.

    No cybersquatting problem from my end.
