Hi, have any of you guys seen domains that are under Registrar-Hold, but no WHOIS registrant name/information at all??

I'm going after a domain, and this is what i get when i checked WHOIS - the domain is registered several years ago with Register.com, and is expiring 2006.

I'm hoping that Register.com gives up the domain so that i can check it.

whois.sc

you can check old whois data to figure out who the owner is, contact the owner so they renew the domain before it drops and buy it from them.

of course, this carries the risk of the owner not wanting to sell the domain once they renew it, but if the domain is good you'll still end up spending less on it from the owner than from the auction.

There's no WHOIS data on the owner. Only the expiry and creation dates, name server and icann registrar - register.com information are shown.

Register.com does that all the time, ring. They don't follow ICANN rules for some strange reason.

Hi,

I've got a pile of names that were very recently sold by Register and another pile that were put into their "Unpaid Names" dept. What I need to know from you is the exact date your "partnership" with them began! Please PM. Thanks.

Wm. M.
