Re: Whois Hijacking My Domain Research?

Yes, it is policy that there is a 5 (or so) day refund. If they don't get a
certain number of hits on the domain, they just cancel the order and they
don't loose anything. If they do get hits, they keep the domain with the
advertising on the site and make hundreds. It sounds like ICANN runs a bit
slow and too much politics are involved (much like most things in life).

The domain I mentioned earlier? Just looked it up... taken and is one of
these sites.

That made me really wonder too. Ditto for the author. That or like he
said,
someone in that groups server got hacked ?

But you know it all goes back to the inactivity of ICANN in this area.
Just
like that deal brought to light, what, last month I think (?) where you
can
register a name and not pay right away but tie it up and there were
MILLIONS
of domains in limbo that way !

Very interesting indeed.

In order for any whois service to get detailed information, they would
need to query the internic to see what registrar is holding the domain
... I wonder if Chesterton Holdings somehow has an inside track at the
internic?
