Registering an expired domain - GoFuckYourself.com

hahmike · 06-10-2002, 03:52 PM

I've been told to register a domain due to drop at the beginning of July. Right now and for the past few months, the domain has been completely dead. Looking at the whois info, the email address there is clearly a fake... you know, like $@^.p00, you can tell when it isn't real

Its looking doubtful that the owner will renew it.

But... I'm terrified because I don't want to be beaten to the domain. Is there any way to be notified as soon as the domain is available? Maybe a monitoring program is the answer here.

I have the expiry date though if I recall correctly, a domain isn't usually available to register right after the expiry date.

Little help please?

most registry services will grab it when it expires, but it isnt cheap

Check SnapNames.com - if there is already a Snap on it, then forget about it, you will never get it. Sad but very fucking true.

For all you haters, I'm not saying Snap will get it, I'm saying this guy isn't going to get it if it's snapped.

Try snap domains, and there are people who own 10K+ domains on this board, maybe one of them would be nice to you and register it for you for $10 (the people that buy in bulk pay less then that), then you would pay all transfer costs. Also, have snap on it, it all depends on how many you are willing to spend on it.
