Can someone assist me.
On Jan. 12th, I registered a domain name with domainspeed.net
The order said "In Processing" for 3 days. I contacted them
every day asking them what the delay was. They send that
the central registration was having problems.
On Jan. 15th, I find that the domain I wanted has been registered
by an off-shore company: MAISON TROPICALE S.A.
I use to own this domain because the domain name matches my
company name that I own in Texas, but I let it expire a couple
years back. I wanted to renew the domain to setup a
company website again, and I found out that nobody
had registered it for the past two years.
Until I went to register it.....
So, from my perspective, it's like someone stole the domain from
me when I went to register it. They put my registration process
on hold while they could register it via an off-shore company.
Can I do anything about this?
Thanks....James
Almost forgot, I have the paypal receipt showing I payed for the domain name on Jan. 12th, and a "whois" of the domain name shows it was registered on Jan. 15th. by the offshore company.
