    It's so dumb that godaddy steal your domain after a few searches for the same domain name. But check on whois it's still available

    Wait is this true?
    I didn't know that...
    Do they register it under a dummy corp. or under their real name?

    All my FirstNameLastName.DOMAINS were gone when I first searched, then when the EU domain came out I got it on the first day. My name is fairly common, so I think there must be plenty demand for it. However I don't use it, and can't really think of any uses for it just now.
    It will be more useful after I revolutionise global ecopolitics with the key to sustainable development and peace in 10 years time! Maybe!

    I have my lastname.com. It's an uncommom Italian American last name (in my sig) that must be close in spelling to an Italian shipping company - I keep getting misdirected e-mails with invoices in Italian.

    I tried writing back in my best Italian but I doubt they understood what I wrote :).

    The best part of owning a domain with your lastname.com is that you can format your email address as

    No proof, but its a established trend with godaddy.
    I saw lot of people complaining the same...

    I can't afford to buy anything at the moment, but I'd love to buy shamess.com. In fact, I think I'll email the Admin to see how much she's expecting to get for it (domain parking evil person xP).

    I’ve never thought about it until today, maybe I’ll try grabbing it if it’s available.
