How do I buy an expired Domain name???
Ok, I want to create a fan site for an actress and the .com domain expired on March 6, 2008. I did a “who is” search and found the owner lives in japan (and he never even created a site, just bought The Domain name). He’s had the name since 2000. But it shows it wasn’t renewed. It’s actually NEVER been a website.
Ok, so what are my options right now? It’s almost been 30 days since the domain name expired. There is absolutely no website up now, it’s just an ad and it does say
“This Domain May Be For Sale” with an email address to write to:
buyyourdomainnamenow@gmail.com
I don’t think this is an email address for the owner, but I have no idea who this email address goes to. I’m afraid if I send an email, the owner may see someone is interested and renew it.
How can I buy an expired domain? I don’t want to make an offer to the owner if they haven’t even renewed the domain.
Just go to namecheap.com or godaddy.com. If it is expired, it will show up as available. It will cost about $10 to register for the year. Just follow the directions on the respective site. Also, some places like godaddy, allow you to put in an order for a name that is about to expire and they will try to snatch it up for you if it isn’t renewed.
