Ok, I have I created this post to keep Track of domain names that Expire, but the registrar KEEPS the domain name. If you have been watching a domain name and it expires, but the registrar KEEPS the domain and does not send it to auction, please post it here in the comment section.
I want to keep a running public tab on these domains.
Please provide as much PROOF as you can that the registrar just kept the domain after it expired. Via screen shots etc.
I will start off with one….
I hope everybody had a great weekend!
I have wrote about this in the past that it is very important to verify your whois information at your current registrars. I am writing it again, because it is important in more ways then one.
Now I have noticed this issue mainly at Godaddy.com . I have been transferring in several domain names from Network Solutions, but also from MyDomain.com. On every single transfer, the whois email is wrong when I check it after the transfer. It will have an email address of NoMail@Godaddy.com or NoValidContact@SecureServer.net . Why this is happening, I am not sure, but the fact is, your whois contact info will be Incorrect and could lead to you losing your domain name.
If you had not heard about the Amazing deals that were had at Afternic.com last week, a company (iReit) listed 1000′s of domain names at once, but made a mistake and listed them with really low buy it now prices. Like in the $500 range for 3 Letter .com’s which on average sell for about $10,000 usd Each!
Since both Sedo.com and Afternic.com hold Massive amounts of domains in their inventories, it can be a pain to search for the deals. Both sites offer this feature and here is how to do it.
