Does the renewal report indicate that it was renewed? If so, THAT shouldNo, that's why I'm SOL. Without the number that was generated at the time of renewal, I have no proof. Regardless of whether I KNOW it was renewed or not.
be enough. This business runs on credit, and someone should be held accountable.
Apparently there's no grace period, or it's very short. The domain expired on 12/2. It was "deleted" fourty days later on 1/12. It was registered by another party on the same day. Doesn't sound like a grace period to me.On one group I have been frequenting lately, someone spoke about how a domain is to expire, and by the time it expires, the grace period will be lengthened, so he asked if there is a way he can get it so he doesn't have to wait 70+ days so that he can no longer take advantage of work someone else did. Ironically, the domain in question is registered through tucows.
Yeah, very true. Unfortunately (for us) neither we nor the client have pockets that deep...I wrote him and said FORGET it! Besides, would you want someone to steal YOUR domains like this?If verisign says he CAN do this, then they should give me THEIR domain! There is really no difference. BTW, to suggest that someone pay someone ELSE for what amounts to THEFT, and pay a higher price because of work THEY did is ludicrous. EBAY, for example, is a totally worthless domain based on any examination of its merits as a domain. Yet, a company would be willing to pay a bundle ONLY because EBAY had a good/popular site, and EBAY advertised it. It may get extra traffic for years without any work. Without that, NOBODY would squat on it, or sell it for very much. WITH that, it is valuable. If this happened to Ebay, they would probably sue every registrar down to verisign.
