Missed a renewal of a domain... saw it listed on the auction sites, cant do anything about it... sells for $250.

Just when you thought you were organised.... arghhh!

don't feel bad, i lost one the other day only to discover i actually lost it 2 years ago !! what a numbnut i am !

the weird thing is the new owner hasn't changed the dns so it still resolves to my servers ( which they do not have access to ) and maybe thats why i missed it till now

maybe they are expecting me to buy it back for some STUPID price?

I'd put up a redirect to one of your sites. Or add it to your parking account. Even if you only make a few $$ from it you might as well.

sorry, let me just add to that... i can't move it ! as i no longer have access, MAYBE I'LL JUST PUT UP A PORN SITE AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS?

lollllllllll

but wait? they are paying for it, i'm hosting it ( no big deal) but i can change the site !!! i can do what i want !!!! its probably a big multinational and they will never come back to it !!!


hmmmmmmm, some interesting ideas are starting to happen.

No need to move it. Put up a .htaccess 301 to one of your other domains. Easiest thing. They may never notice.

you're making me look like an idiot ! , THANKS. LOL

F me , i have toooo many things on my mind right now, you know when you get to a point in your business where you have to take the next LEAP, well thats where i'm at right now, so my mind is on that and not on the current and the DANGER is you loose a domain, so you are sooo busy making the next buck that in fact you are loosing 2 bucks behind you!!!

i just said that for general info as its bloody true.

i hope thats a good message to someone?
