    advice Advice on getting control of company related domains

    Thank you to everyone for the comments. So here is an update: I purchased the "Happy Tree Group" domain outright for the 3K. I told the owners it was possible that upon researching our company they would raise the price. They really wanted the group .com domain as the company is buying more...

    Thanks Brad. So they would just hold the domain for what, another 10 years? I really can't see that anyone else in our industry coming along and buying it, especially not for 9 grand. Do you happen to know who makes the final decision on negotiating down? Is it the person you first speak to...

    I will try to convince them. We do own the full original company name.com, although the website uses the initialed version - aka we own happytreelandscaping.com but our website is htlandscaping.net (cuz we don't own .com). htlandscaping.com is the one that they want 9k for.

    Thanks everyone for your advice. No, I’m not a bot. The company name is generic enough that “Happy Tree Group” could apply to many different companies. As far as the UDRP, I don’t know if we would have a trademark on the shortened name - htlandscaping. The only other part that confuses me is...

    advice Domain possibly owned by scammer/shady actor - thoughts?

    i can’t speak about 30 years ago. we are a successful B2B with a small web presence. At the time they must not have known or cared. Then someone else legitimate in another industry had it for about 20 years it looks like. I was mostly asking about whether anyone had experience dealing with...

    advice Want to purchase a private / unused domain - broker recommendation?

    I think the company wants to spend in the $10k neighborhood, but might consider going higher. What do you think?

    Hello. Apologies in advance for not being knowledgeable in this area and using the incorrect terms. I started a year ago at a family run company which has 150m in revenue and has been around for 50 years. The original name for the company is three words, two and then the thing we do. Say for...

    advice Domain possibly owned by scammer/shady actor - thoughts?

    sorry to clarify the domain i want isn’t redirecting its black. however the expired certificate was issued to another domain which I suspect is related to them. Could be wrong, they could have been hacked.

    advice Want to purchase a private / unused domain - broker recommendation?

    Hello, I work for a ~1000 employee org. We don't own the best .com for our company name (common words) but would like to get it. The domain is currently registered private/Domains by Proxy but has no active website (points to amazon but is blank page) or mx records. Godaddy is the registrar...

    You aren’t wrong but at the same time you don’t understand the business, their expenses and investments. They tend to be very conservative with spend and it’s served them well for over 50 years, the business is low margin but has never lost money and never done layoffs. For them to spend over...
