Who owns your domain name?
|
Posted By: Marta Fernandez on March 19, 2009 Lesson learned. A few years ago I registered Beyondthevoice.com . I paid over $300.00 for the site at that time. I never built the site and it expired after three years. Now that I am building several websites I decided to look up the domain. It has been "snapped " up by a site called fittingly enough Snapnames.com who is auctioning the name for $59.00. And reselling under another site as a "certified offer " get this beginning at $19.00, which of course the buyer would never get, at that price. This research also took me to ICAAN , which I knew existed--so I looked up the rules for expired domain names and who owns what. My site is now owned by a principal of go-daddy.com. Registrant: Glenn Kelly Registered through: GoDaddy.com, Inc. (http://www.godaddy.com) Domain Name: BEYONDTHEVOICE.COM Domain servers in listed order: NS59.1AND1.CO.UK NS60.1AND1.CO.UK I then followed the trail to: http://who.godaddy.com/whoischeck.aspx?Dom... Registrant: Glenn Kelly 6 Woodeson Lea Rodley, West Yorkshire LS131RJ United Kingdom which led me to: Registered through: GoDaddy.com, Inc. (http://www.godaddy.com) Domain Name: BEYONDTHEVOICE.COM Created on: 17-Mar-08 Expires on: 17-Mar-10 Last Updated on: 17-Jun-08 Administrative Contact: Kelly, Glenn eglennkelly@hotmail.com 6 Woodeson Lea Rodley, West Yorkshire LS131RJ United Kingdom 7986783470 Technical Contact: Kelly, Glenn eglennkelly@hotmail.com 6 Woodeson Lea Rodley, West Yorkshire LS131RJ United Kingdom 7986783470 Domain servers in listed order: NS59.1AND1.CO.UK NS60.1AND1.CO.UK Registry Status: clientDeleteProhibited Registry Status: clientRenewProhibited Registry Status: clientTransferProhibited Registry Status: clientUpdateProhibited See Underlying Registry Data Report Invalid Whois The bottom line is I could have made money off my own domain had I had the knowledge then, but I have it now! If you ever find you have similar issues or dispute your governmental international agency is The Internet Corporation for assigned names and numbers. http://www.icann.org/en/compliance/pie-pro... Registrant: The person or entity listed here is the "owner" of the domain name. Administrative Contact: The person designated to receive communications from the registrar related to administration of the domain name. Billing Contact: The person designated to receive notices from the registrar concerning renewing the domain name by paying the registration fee. Technical Contact: The person designated to receive communications related to technical matters associated with the domain name. Record Expiration Date: The date the domain name will terminate and be revoked unless the renewal fee has been paid Record Creation Date: The date the domain name was first issued to the registrant or the registrant’s predecessor. Important Note: Any person or entity named as a contact on the Whois database has the power to adversely affect the domain name. Make sure the people who are named as administrative, billing and technical contacts are correct. These people should be trusted individuals or companies that will not use their power as designated contacts to adversely affect the domain name. The billing person should be somebody who can be trusted to make sure the domain name renewal fee is paid before the expiration date. Verify that the names, addresses, email addresses and phone numbers for the registrant and all contacts are correct. If any information is not correct or if you want to change any or all of the contacts, you should initiate the changes on your registrar's web site. The fact that a domain name owner has incorrect information in the Whois database can be used against the registrant in disputes involving ownership of the domain name. See the Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act FAQ. Sometimes when you do a Whois search, you may not get much information other than the name of the registrar. Many of the registrars do not share domain name information or have access to other registrars' Whois databases. If you cannot get the information you need when you do a Whois search, make a note of the name of the registrar and then go to the web site of the registrar to do the search for the domain name information. ICANN maintains a list of all accredited registrars with their contact information. Domain names are valuable assets. By taking the time now to check the ownership record of your domain name, you may prevent the loss of your domain name in the future. This article was first published on May 1, 2001.
