One of my domains, has been hijacked by search dot com. How do thay do this, and what can I do to get it back. I have emailed them, but thay do not reply. Also do I have any recourse, or who should I contact / complain to.
Thx co2.

If you mean you searched in search.com, saw it available, but weren't able to
register it on the spot or whatever and it's taken by someone else, then there
isn't any recourse since it wasn't really yours to begin with. Sorry, just saying
the truth even if it hurts.

No DZ, when I type the domain name in to browser, search dot com page comes up. Name server is pointing to my hosting company, and owner details are all correct, thx co2

Someone else checked it for me, still went to search dot com.

Contact your hosting company for advice. If you are still listed as owner/administrator initiate a re-direct to cure what might just be an error.

i know search.com installs browser helper object on msie, but this is first that I know that they also hijack domains.
first see if you can still manage the said domain on your registrar.
second, point it to another primary/secondary dns

if you post the domain, it would make it easier to diagnose any dns problems.

or OP can diagnose himself by using nwtools.com under dns

Sounds like a DNS issue. Sure would help if the domain name's posted to do a
DNS lookup or so.
