question A large company bought my domain name

[theplastickiD]

Hi, wondering if anyone can help me here.

I used to own a domain name that was my actual name... I have a pretty rare name.

Anyway, I forgot to renew it and when I went to try again a large company have bought it and are I guess squatting on it, trying to sell it back to me for like $1000.

Are they allowed to do this?

Thanks.

I agree with Jhon, let them have for 1 years! anyway the domain are unique so I am sure nobody want to buy it! lol :P ,

I would say register the same name with a different ext and then trademark it :P

As you said, they are big company, if they own the similar web or planning to launch one, bargain wouldn't be possible.

Only two ways to choose from then, either wait if they don't take it longer with them or leave it.

Maybe you could legally change your name to something that is not registered. Good luck with that
