[Ok... maybe the wrong group... if anyone knows a better group for
this with some significant activity, please advise]
Question: Is there any way to pry a domain loose that is still
registered for a couple of years if you know that the owner listed
in the registration is deceased, the company no longer exists, and
all the contact information is incorrect (as in, the phones belong
to new companies, the hosting arrangement is defunct, etc).
My initial thought is that it just has to run to the end of the
registration period (2 years more) and you have to try to grab it.
Is there any mechanism to get it loose ahead of time ? (Short of
finding the deceased's estate and buying it from the executor?).
Thanks,

E-mail a registrar, and ask them.

I suppose it's paid for and it belongs to the estate, so on those grounds I
wouldn't see a great reason why it should be forfeited. Though I can think
of several reasons why I'd like to see domains with false details revoked.
It's against the terms and conditions, and deliberate misinformation is a
good sign of ill-intent. Though, on the other hand, I don't mind the idea
of such data being kept private but available when really needed (e.g. for
legal reasons, not just because some spammer is pretending they have a good
reason so they can harvest details, or for malcontents to abuse people at
home).

You can pre-register your interest. various services & registrars claim to
be able grab a domain that becomes available but I'm not sure how reliable
or effective they are.
But by far the best way to get the domain is to offer to buy it off the
estate. If it is no longer of any use to them, then they will surely be
happy to relinquish control. If they have a reason to keep the domain, then
you have no choice but to accept that.

Yep, know of them... the problem is that it registered through late
2005. That means spring 2006 before it's up for grabs.

That's looking like the best choice since we can avoid the scramble.
But, tracking down the estate from 3000 miles away might be a little
cumbersome. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Suppose I register a domain name, MyDomain.com, through register.com (or any
other of the many domain name registrars).
I own the domain name. The domain name goes into the global DNS database.
As the facilitator in this process, exactly what does the registrar *own*
with respect to my specific domain name and/or the registration process?
Briefly, what role does InterNIC play in all of this?

Hello All:
I have been researching the WaitOne method and don't understand what the
second param is for. It is a boolean value that determines "whether to exit
the synchronization domain before the wait." What does this mean?
How does the WaitOne (or, for that matter, WaitAny or WaitAll) differ from a
synchronous call? To me they look effectively the same. Unless the
difference has to do with this "synchronization domain" thing.

Hi,
I would like opinions on a shareware issue. If shareware uses an

and therefore only needs to check online if the shareware is not yet

"Is it okay to go get your lost registration code?" message box? I've

While I agree with the sentiment, the oringinal title on this thread
("OT: Specially for , why you should always use example.com
for obfuscating domains") is wrong. There are other reserved domain
names besides example.com.
The search for reserved domain names should start with RFC 2606
( http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2606.html ) which defines;
