    Hello.

    I am wanting to start a site which offers a game ranking ladder. I thought "rankme" would be a perfect name - rankme.com was available when I started the graphic work but I didn't have the cash to register it. Now someone has parked rankme.com and rankme.net.

    I actually want the domain for a business so can I claim it back?

    Cheers.

    You could write to the current owner & ask if the domain is for sale and what they want for the domain. Rankme is quite a verstile name so it's value might be considerable. I would do plenty of research and progress to purchase once you have a figure you would pay.

    It was registered by someone else on 2005-04-24, how you can claim that domain name?

    Use some other domain name or purchase it from the current owner
