 | View Full Version : Domain in redemption, can you (if so, how) buy/get it? anna_m 11-22-2005, 08:49 PM There is a .com domain name is redemption that I really like. I checked on whofree and found that the domain will drop towards the end of December. I was curious if you could get that domain registered (or buy it somehow) while it's in redemption. I am afraid of someone getting it before me, if there is a way. Thanks!

But they'll restore the domain name to its last registered account, and won't put it in another. imwired 11-23-2005, 12:31 AM I believe only the existing registrant can redeem the name. Try backordering the name with Snapnames or any other company that provides a similar service :caflag: Dave Zan 11-23-2005, 12:50 AM I believe only the existing registrant can redeem the name. Right. It's just that "anyone" can claim to represent the registrant, so it's up to the registrar how they'll approach the one asking to redeem the domain name. dotcomguy01 11-23-2005, 01:10 AM I believe only the existing registrant can redeem the name.
