Snatching an Expiring Domain Name
October 27, 2006
When determining what domain name you would like to purchase for your web site you may encounter issues with finding a preferred name that is not already owned by someone else. Domain names are leased and when the lease period is up if the owner does not renew then the domain name becomes available once again.
Sounds simple enough until I read this extremely interesting article at http://www.mikeindustries.com/blog/archive/2005/03/how-to-snatch-an-expiring-domain .
It seems if you really want a domain name that is about to expire, you may want to leverage one of these services that specialize in acquiring domain names. May not have much luck otherwise….
Here’s a link for finding some of these companies in google..
