I purchased domain name at name.com but it expired in November 11th. So I have problem because I need that domain again but it says that it's taken. Nobody purchased it, but name.com keeps it for themselves for some reason, and that's a common procedure I think. What should I do? How long will domain name remain taken by name.com? Should I buy another one or wait for it until it becomes available again?
can you check domain status in whois and post here along with nameservers ? if it shows pending delete it will be released soon normally 75 days of the domain registration date
You could perhaps contact their support channels, they may be able to help you before they release it.
Listed below is a .com domain name's "lifecycle": http://www.icann.org/en/registrars/gtld-lifecycle.htm Depending on what stage the domain name is in, it might or might not be easy to "get it back". Do check with Name.com for options as fierceservers said.
Post your problem on their facebook page here, someone from their staff will get in touch with you shortly for sure.
Are you sure it has been taken by name.com? I mean that someone else not taken it? check the whois carefully. If you have an account in name.com, you can contact their support team directly
u need to pay around 80+$ to restore. best is to wait and reg back i guess it may be available in around feb 5.
80 USD to restore from registry its normal fee for such situation they may charged abt 60+ from verisign u can keep watch that domain status and when it changes to pending delete it will drop after 5 days. try your luck
