Somebody's Stealing My Domains
 

I have been doing domain searches and buying domains. I come up with some good ones and buy like 8 at a time. But, when I go back to buy the ones I didn't get, they are now taken. How do they find the domains that I do a search for? I hate that shit. :mad: Some are gone in as little as an hour, like last night. Is there a way to block or stop the spying?

where are you searching for the domains? search gfy there has been many threads about this already.

Close your window and get off the webcam thing...

Domaintools.com ?

depends on where you're searching, they log all searches and scan through them, if there is anything valuable to them in there, they register them

go to your start bar hit run then type cmd then type ping domain.com

I didn't know they did that. I used 1and1 and a couple of others. Where is a good place to check domains that won't take my domains?

shit... this happened to me like two years ago.... i never realized it until now.

see post above you

these people are right about why they are disappearing, although please keep in mind that these domains weren't ever actually "yours" since you didn't register them. if you find a domain you like that is available whip out the creditcard and register it *IMMEDIATELY*..!

:error

thank you guys. I guess i'll have to just forget about it and move on. I just feel like they are spying on me and my activities.

don't get me wrong friend, you are right on that account. some registrars are notorious for going through their records looking for gems that were searched for, some othes here could probably recommend the safer search locales for domains online, i don't really know. but when you find a good one, jump on it..!

:)

check back 4-5 days after they were registered.

sometimes they are dropped during the grace period.

when you find a good domain ... buy it then and there

That has been going on for years. Just get over it and move on. And when you find something that you like, buy it.

Hey SmokeytheBear and Chupacabra thanks. ElvisMansion how is your band doing? Do you have time to do webmastering and dedicate enough time to music. I play and produce too. I need better time management.

Yeah some people do that shit.. very lame
