Grabbing A Domain Name That's Already Registered By Someone Else?
I'm in that situation, if you could call it that, were I'd like to grab my own name .com domain. The only trouble is that someone else currently owns it, and they aren't actually doing anything with it.
Now, in my eyes that's a good sign, because they will possibly be more likely to sell it to me. I currently own my name with a hyphen, but I would like to grab it without, even if it takes time. (Slow and steady wins the race!)
I checked the domains details, WHOIS, and found an email address in which I sent off an email. Only to get it returned 2 minutes later telling me that it isn't available. On closer inspection, I believe this person has WhoisGuard enabled and therefor the emails are auto-generated too.
But still, should it still not forward any information send to that particular address onto the domain owner?! You'd think that was law or something, at least I do anyway!
As I mentioned further up, if it takes some time to aquire the domain then it's not a problem. If I can't get the domain, then it's not a *real* biggie, althought it would be quite nice to own it!
While I won't lose any sleep over it, do any of my fellow warriors have any advice/ideas, in which I could use to start the ball rolling? I've never even tried something like this, so anything anyone can contribute is very much appreciated.
Thanks
Mark
