    my site stolen?

    ok this is pretty fucked up.

    www.hqerosescorts.com is my domain, when it loads it goes to some other site.... my name servers are still the same, all files on the server are the same, yet somehow it redirects to another site....

    any ideas?

              you have their trademark in your name and you are targetting the same traffic they do. I think they took it. At least it looks that way.

                Is this you in the whois, if not then it does appear you do not own the domain any longer. http://whois.domaintools.com/hqerosescorts.com

                      Yep, which is the Company that owns eros.com It appears they did indeed take it from you probably because you infringed on their name. About ten years ago when I was a noob I registered some domain with Yahoo in it and after a few months it suddenly became property of Yahoo.

                          Well you could certainly fight it, but I doubt its worth it unless your site was bringing in substantial revenue. At least contact your domain registrar and find out what they got served.

                                              Was it simply that you had the word "eros" in your domain? It appears by your domain you were also promoting escorts, were they the same escorts from eros.com?

                                                Looks like it was taken away by URDP.
                                                I can't post the link, but do a google search for your domain - hqerosescorts.com and the second result is you losing UDRP case.

                                                The whois was private, so you probably never got the notice.

                                                  I can't post the link, but do a google search for your domain - hqerosescorts.com and the second result is you losing UDRP case.

                                                  The whois was private, so you probably never got the notice.

                                                    That's kind of lame!! I would have thought you had a pretty good case - if you had responded
                                                    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eros_(mythology)
                                                    Eros was the primordial god of lust, love, and intercourse - seems like it would be hard for a company to claim rights to that....

                                                        I think due to privacy protection on the who is.

                                                        Really makes one think if this really could be abused to hell and high water against people hidding who owns a domain.

                                                                                      They appear to have a trademark on the word Eros and they are in the escort business. Your domain was just HQerosescorts which just comes off as HQ Eros Escorts. Then you also were in the same line of business which would of been the only possible escape clause.

                                                                                      Think of it this way, it is like making a site that is called:
                                                                                      HQcokesoda -promoting soda.
                                                                                      HQstarbuckscoffee -promoting coffee.

                                                                                      Then they are technically required to protect their trademark or potentially face loosing it if they do not enforce it.

                                                                                      [email protected] ICQ:135982156 AIM: Aftershockmed1a MSN: [email protected]

There is a EROS data center used by the US government that would not infringe on their trademark. There was also a movie by the same name that had some erotica (close but did not infringe).
