Hello, i have lost a .com domain and need to know if i can get it back.

The domain was registered with uk2.net, however they charged for transfer out of domains, this is ok as knew that when i signed up. However they also said that transfer out was free after 2 years, come the end of 2 years i wanted to transfer out my 100+ domains, well this turned out to be impossible as they do not answer support emails or have a transfer out facility for free transfer.

The only way to go was to allow domains to expire and then renew them, this was not to bad as uk2.net used joker.com, i just set up account with email i used when i registered domains.


The problem is that during this process i have lost one of my prime domains, it is now in process of being transfered by http://www.namegiant.com/ to a client.


Is there any way i can appeal to get my domain back?


many thanks

You let it expire. That means it's available to anyone to register.

Unless you think you have a UDRP claim on the domain - that is someone has registered it in bad faith or otherwise in violation of your copyright or trademark on the domain.

Though I'm not a domain lawyer and I don't play one on the Internet...

-t

As long as you don't have any trademark rights on that name, the only thing you can do is offering some money to the new owner. :rolleyes:

bad new, just as i thought :mad:

What was the name you lost?

Transferring out *is* free after 2 years - if you're still with us. If you haven't renewed, we'll delete you from our systems, so you can't log in to transfer out. Bit of a catch 22, but that's the way it goes, unfortunately.

sound like u are from uk2.net and yes it is a sharp pratice you have indeed :mad:

I know i am not the 1st to lose a domain because uk2.net refuse to assist in transfering out of domains after 2 year even though they say it can be done for free.

crap service

crap company

never recommend them, if uk2.net had a decent servise like stargateinc.com or 123reg.co.uk i would have stayed but like many i chose to leave, only the mis-informed go with uk2.net, they leave when the realise what a poor service they offer.
