So essentially, there's a domain that I'm considering hand-regging for a small business venture that's surprisingly a decent name (.com). The name of the business and the domain, was once used rather extensively by a small company that went completely defunct back in 2018. There's multiple links to the domain across the internet, and even two business directories that are still showing the business listing, along with the domain link. One of the directories even mentions that the business is permanently closed. So as of now, there's been zero activity for nearly 3 years since the company went completely out of business back in late 2018. There was never a registered trademark either. They let the domain go and everything evaporated into nothing. I suppose the question is, is the domain pretty much fair game for anyone to come along, register it and then develop it into the same type of business that was once active without any issues? The company name would be the exact same, just registered in a different state than the former business. The reason they dried up was apparently due to just a lack of funds. There's no bad reputation or anything associated with the domain. I suppose if the business is defunct, that might seem like a stupid question, however it's a serious question I have nonetheless. What do you think, Namepros?
