Hi, I am new to this as i have been using free hosting/domain names for a while... 1.OK if I want to buy a domain name, completley unique not used by anyone else at the moment who do i go to? and what gives them the right to sell this to me? 2.Secondly if i go on whois for a domain name and find it expires soon how would i go about getting it?
1> you go to a registrar (http://www.ohashi.info/registrars), they are accredited by ICANN to do this. 2> backorder - snapnames, poool, namejet, etc. lots of companies catch drops or have pre-release agreements.
You can buy a domain from us at http://www.idnrs.com ICANN has permitted DirectI and we are the authorised reseller.
Hello, You can register a domain via any registrar. The biggest is GoDaddy.com, but there are also some other ones around too. I prefer Dynadot.com, but everyone has their favorite. If you go through whois and find a domain that will expire soon, like kohashi said, it's a good idea to backorder it. Alternately, you can wait for it to expire and register it yourself. I'm not a huge expert on expiring domains but I know it depends what stage it is in because sometimes the owner can register it again.
You can buy domain name from alot of sites. It is hard to get one that is about to expire most are back ordered if they are any good.
ok many thanks for your help, so if i want to get this expiring domain who do i go to in order to add a backorder and would i have to pay if i am the only party interested.
