i need serious help!!!

[daPrez]

i know its a long way off but i want to register a domain which has been registered for the past 3 years.

it is due to expire on : 3rd mar 2003

how long before that date should i attempt to register it?

the person who gives me the best accurate answer will get 50% of what i sell it for !!!! this domain name is very BIG !!!!

lets get the ball rolling to making some serious money

Chances are that it will be renewed in the next 4/5 months before it drops

but you should check to see if it has a snap on it at http://www.snapnames.com. if not and it is that good a name then you might want to consider putting one on.

anything other than that is out of my scope of knowledge i'm afraid .

I would suggest that you not get too attached to that name (or any other name for that matter). The chances of you getting it, if it is as good as you claim, are not very good.

ive just secured it on snapnames

>daPrez: this domain name is very BIG / ive just secured it on snapnames

If it is really a BIG TIME domain name and there is the slightest chance of it being dropped, it would have already been picked up by someone else at SnapNames.

My question is: what makes you think that the current owner would let the name expire?

As a matter of fact, aol.com is expiring in less than a month (Nov 23 2002 at 7:02 AM, to be more precise).

 

[daPrez]

well check for yourself !!!!

here is a few that arent secured on snapnames

chicago.com
lasvegas.net
they expire all early next year and arnt secured on snap names

and the 1 i just found i big

i think you are getting hopeful daPrez

my delusinal world is the only thing that keeps my brain ticking along


it may happen it may not .

either way its only $69 for a year ive lost if it doesnt work

 

[Anthony Ng]

LOL! You don't get it, do you?

Of course, they are NOT back-ordered. Why would anyone back-order any name that would not expire? That's why I mentioned aol.com or if you like netscape.com (expiring on Dec 14 2002 at 12:00 AM).

 

[daPrez]

as i said in my last post
either way its only $69 for a year ive lost if it doesnt work


its only $69 after all

ok so it may not expire . but if it did for some strange reason then it would have been worth it

anyway its been regsitered for a 4 year period and its only just due to expire.
i know if i owned a domain that long i would forget to renew it or even have chanegd the email adress i registered it with


silly things like that do happen

expirey date does not mean that the domain will actualy expire, it's just the time for renewal. Most smart webmasters know it as a red letter day, almost as important as a birthday.

They do sometimes expire - but those are mostly domains, not site, but sites expire to. It's a bit confusing till you learn the basics.

Even if it expires, there are hoards of expiring domain hopefuls that will be trying to grab the name if it is "big". I've learnt that even small names that I thought no one would want, gets grabbed.

EVERY domain has a potential expiry date. The fact is the vast majority of the good ones get renewed.

You money would be better spent over at some place like http://clickmojo.com with his expiry lists and find yourself something good currently expiring.

If you're running a business put your money where it generates revenue. Not on some longterm "maybe"

If Snapnames buys him a WLS spot, then he would have made a good investment...

 

[peter]

anyways, try it at snapnames

Didn't hotmail.com drop and someone grab it. I never heard how much BG paid to get it back, or how he did it.
