    If it was expired long enough for someone else to buy it, its too late

    Are you sure it isn't the parking page of the domain company? Email them and maybe you can renew it (I know GoDaddy holds them for quite a while)

    Other then offering to buy it from the person who now owns it, you are out of luck.

    Your backlinks Yahoo: 1 - 5 of about 48 for link:http://www.howsmyflying.com
    Google: Your search - link:http://www.howsmyflying.com - did not match any documents.
    Alexa: Nil

    If you are still interested to get back your domain, I suggest you backorder them.

    I'm not an expert but I do subscribe to services offering expired (about to expired, etc) and had managed to get good domains by backordering.

    I managed to get 1stgirl.com, seogeek.com, crushbadcredit.com , etc recently. A few of them are being offered around UDS1,000.

    MrGeek was nice enough to check the WHOIS for you.

    Still not too late.

    If you have more than 100 links, good PR and some records with Alexa.com then you would have to say goodbye to your domain because the others (including myself) would have placed their backorders.

    Hi Ainmohd,

    How do you backorder? My domain registrar , namecheap seems not to have this service.

    Hi Ainmohd,

    I also have the same problem as Gary with mydavao.com. The site already got a PR 3 and 1000 uniques per month.

    How do you backorder? My domain registrar , namecheap seems not to have this service.

    If the domain gets good traffic a backorder won't work either. If it's already been picked up by someone they will not let it drop again if it has good traffic.
