question Simply trying to get my old domain back , please help

[sitemonkey]

I have had the same business name for over 15 years and someone snatched the domain. Its useless to others and it's my brand. have been waiting for it to drop, had it backordered on sav and was notified it was about to be attempted a couple weeks ago. Never heard anything else. Now it's registered by Wildwestdomains and says the reseller is microsoft 365, This shit is so disgusting. I can't afford hundreds of dollars or even $100 for this domain right now. I used a command line whois lookup only when checking . How do I find out who has this domain and why did this happen? Who do I contact direct?

So pissed right now.

Also, if I have an iphone domain, like iphonecases dot com ,and use it, will it just be taken from me? Things have changed alot since I last freelanced and things have changed. Any guidance would be awesome.

I understand your frustration with someone snatching your domain after having the same business name for over 15 years. It can be disheartening, especially when it's an essential part of your brand. To find out who currently owns the domain and why it happened, you can try performing a WHOIS lookup. This will provide you with information about the domain's current registrant. As for reclaiming the domain, you may want to contact the domain registrar, Wildwestdomains, and inquire about the process for reclaiming a domain that was previously owned by you. They might be able to provide guidance or assistance.

Regarding your question about an "iphone" domain like iphonecases.com, if you own and actively use the domain, it generally should not be taken from you. However, it's important to ensure that you abide by any trademark or intellectual property regulations to avoid potential legal issues. If you have concerns or uncertainties about domain ownership and usage, consulting with a legal professional would be advisable to receive accurate guidance tailored to your specific situation.
