Remember my original post, Have You Ever Queried a Domain... (http://www .webhostingtalk.com /showthread.php?s= &threadid=395533), As I said, it expired January 2005 but the registrar still had it... it's been Pending Delete for quite a while.... I'd been checking it EVERY DAY.... and Saturday morning, it was available!!!!!!!
After five LONG years of waiting, I GOT IT!!!!
I didn't use a service, I just ran right over to my favorite registrar & got it!!! Even though I've since changed the name of my business, the service is still the same, but I'll gladly point it to the newer site!! :stickout:
(I would post the domain name, but after reading GDiddy's post I'm sure if its safe.)
P.S. to GDiddy, I hope everything works out for you.

Glad to hear that! :D

but since its with eNom its SAFE if you lock it!

congrats 5 years aint easy ;)

Thats good to hear :) 5 years is a long time. My longest domain is only 2 years.

(I would post it but I don't have whois protection. Internic doesn't show my info, but all the others do.)

Persistance paid off in your case

:stickout:
