Hi all,

I wish to purchase kbphotography.com, but am at a loss as to who to contact.

The domain has expired, and is currently pointing to one of them useless search sites.

The names servers show it as "RENEWYOURNAME.NET".

Can anyone advise what i need to do from here?

Regards
Craig

As http://whois.sc/kbphotography.com reveals, there is an Administrative and Technical contact. Seeing the page, it seems that the registrar may have reclaimed it because the buyer failed to renew in time.

If I were you, I would shoot an email to both people/emails: kbphotography@aol.com and domreg@bizland-inc.com

I think bizland uses tucows as their primary registrar

Thanks for the info.

I contacted Bizland and they replied telling me the domain is registered with them and is up for renewal but the client hasnt renewed it yet.

If the client doesnt renew, it will become available for public registration.

I'm not too sure when this is going to happen as the domain states it expired back in July!

I think i might end up fighting to get it with other people, so does anyone know of some good sites where i can do something like "pre-puchase" it?
