There's a domain name registered WITH register.com which I have a snap on. The whois says that the domain name is also registered TO register.com.

Organization:
register.com
Technical Administrator
575 Eighth Avenue
New York, NY 10018
US
Phone: 212-798-9200
Fax..: 212-594-9876
Email: admin@register.com

I wish I could check the old whois data to see if it was previously registered to someone other than register.com.

Are registrars allowed to register domain names themselves, before they drop?

I emailed admin@register.com more than a week ago asking them but still no reply.

Does it say unpaid names department? If so, then it probably won't drop, but will be sold to somebody.

emailing admin@register.com was a bad move - now they know it has potential offers.

No idea if it's legal - but register.com and netsol often do it. They have justifications and other names foir it however.

it's alright I didn't say what the domain name was... that's probably why they haven't replied.

I forgot to mention the following info:

Expires on..............: Fri, Aug 09, 2002
Record last updated on..: Tue, Oct 02, 2001

Can anyone else give their advice as to how legitimate it is for register.com to still be holding on to this domain name?
