Domain Name Expired

[dubaifox]

My domain name expired a few months ago.

I didn't think I needed it, but I might try and get it again. When I tried to register it again with Powweb, it says that it is already registered with Powweb. I try going to the site and it says the domain name is available to be bought for $750?!

It is a pretty obscure domain name. Any idea what is going on?

Someone bought your domain and is trying to sell it. Check the whois record, it would be interesting to know if an individual or registrar has it.

name.net has it.Strangely, I checked on Powweb a few days ago to see if it was available and it still was.

I wonder if there is some way to tell what people are interested in registering, and then they snap it up before you do, so you have to buy it from them? Just a thought.

Ah, hopkinsmusic.com then. Sometimes it's a coincidence, however it makes you wonder doesn't it?
