Super Confused!

[JimmyRich]

I own a site that I have a whois gaurd on and I had someone contact me inquiring to buy my site.

The weird part is that its a political party. I was planning on using the site to voice my opinions towards everything that I wanted to rant and rave about in regards to politics.

How would this have happened?

Which whois guard is it ?

There are some services which assist users in sending messages via form [similar to a feedback form]which will be zipped accross to you by the provider.

 

[JimmyRich]

I have namecheap's whois

If you have enabled whois email forwarding to your email id you will receive emails.
One option is to change the frequency of the randomly generated whois email ids.

and someone wanting to buy your domain name is bad?

 

[JimmyRich]

no it isnt bad but they started at 8,500. I wasnt expecting that.

The domain registrar likely has a form that lets people email you (if you have that option enabled) through their system, BUT does NOT show or divulge your email to the inquirer.

The purpose for this is just that, so you can hide your identity, but still have the benefit of letting outside parties email you if they're interested.

what's the name?

Make sure that it is not a domain name scam.

Search them here at NamePros (at the top of the homepage) and you'll see what I am talking about.

you own the domain and said you planned to possibly develop it so why won't you say what it is?

 

[JimmyRich]

I didnt know if I could publicly talk about this stuff here. I wanted to set up texandemocrat dot com to my personal ranting blog about politics. I am in fact writing my code up for the whole deal.
Its so I can get a hot seat when they have the politics heat!

 

[abcproductions]

thanks for sharing. i think you have a great name there and if you plan on developing your blog, that will certainly increase the value. with regards to that offer, i would counter with 15K and take 10 if it were mine. good luck and welcome to NP.

 

[JimmyRich]

They told me it goes in reference to texasdemocrat.com.

I am not understand why they didnt get it while they could!

Thanks for the welcome

 

[stscac]

John Kerry?

[JimmyRich]

Yeah, haha I didnt think he was running this time around but then again John McCain

Thanks for the welcome

Have you had contact since the OP? How did it go......?

 

[JimmyRich]

I wrote back that saying that I would be willing to negotiate 15k but in the meantime, I'll be developing the site, if no other offers.

We'll see, I was going to go get it appraised, but I dont know what to look for.
