Domain Screwed...Need Advice (RESOLVED)
me a lecture, yeah, I know...dumb. But I'm trying to fix it and don't know how.
Here's the story.
Many years ago, when I wasn't as savvy as I am now, I joined this program
where one of the perks was getting a domain and hosting for free. All I had
to do was give the person the domain I wanted, so I did. There were other
perks too. It was really a great package.
Well, I did very little with the domain at first. But gradually, I started to
monetize it and now it's making a nice chunk of change. Plus, I intend to
do a lot more with it next year.
I started to realize that I didn't want this person in control of this domain
any longer. Yes, it's in HIS name. It's not that I don't trust him. I've known
him for 4 years now and he seems like a decent guy. It's just that what if
something happens to him?
The domain is in HIS name. If he dies or something, I'm screwed.
But here's what really concerns me.
Last year, I asked him to let me take over paying for the domain and he
said not to worry about it, that as long as I was in his program he would
continue paying for the domain and hosting. Since I am a lifetime member
(cost me $300 4 years ago) that means I'm always going to be in his
program. Still, I wanted to take the responsibility myself.
If it were me, I would have just said, okay, I'll transfer it over to you.
He didn't.
This year, just a couple of days ago, I contacted him again about it.
Haven't heard back yet.
I'm afraid that, for whatever reason, he wants to hold onto this domain
and doesn't want to give it to me. Legally, I have no grounds to stand on.
He paid for it.
It's in HIS name.
I'm screwed and I know it.
Question is, is there ANYTHING I can do?
I expect this domain to start making me a lot of money soon and the
thought of losing it just makes me sick.
Yes, I should have known better and never took this offer. But it was at
a time when I was more concerned about the other perks than the
domain. That was just an afterthought.
Any suggestions on what to do will be greatly appreciated.
