Did somebody steal our domain?
 

Or did we just forget to renew/miss a notice (unlikely) or whatever.

Most of our domains are on autorenew, so I was really pissed when an affiliate pointed our the banners were no longer working. I checked http://redsmiley.com/ and it is redirecting elsewhere now.

How can i find out where I had registered it and till when? Also, i am trying to figure out where i registered a .co.uk name, any place i can easily check that?

whois.sc maybe?

WhoIs.sc ?

Fuck me, no idea who this name-services.com is. I guess we're no longer eligable to re-get it for 8.88$ ;-)

namecheap does no longer list it in our list of names.

We have everything on auto-renew there as well and funds enough in the account. Fuck.

Whois Server: whois.enom.com

???

Its done. There is a re-activate domains link on the left, there were two domains in there we must have missed somehow.


Any takers on checking .co.uk whois/registrar info?

I would have thought whois.sc would have done it too but try the whois on here, they are the main governing body for .co.uk

Hmm, tried it at enom. Weird stuff, i have this name for ages:
It is registered at http://www.ascio.com and i have no clue who these people are.

I have to get organized with all these domains, lol.

How do people with over 1000 names do it?

we use www.moniker.com works flawless for us on renewals as long as we got enuf funds on our card...

Maybe, you're an unlucky guy... :(

I hate when that happens :(

expired domains, r.i.p. ...

damn, that is bad

Time to hit up Paul...

One way they do it is to register their most valuable domains for the 10 year maximum.

Many domain owners are cheap, and only register for a year or two, in which case domain expiration becomes more likely.

:2 cents:

The other suggestion I would make is to consolidate all of your domains at one great secure registrar, such as:

http://www.moniker.com

:thumbsup

if you are positive you had it on autorenew, what does namecheap say about it?
