Domain Registry

24 years ago

I'm trying to renew my domain registry for my website but keep getting told that my name doesn't exactly match the owner of the website. I can't remember what name I used, spelling etc....is there a place I can look this info up? Also, can I just let my domain registry lapse and pick it up with a different company later? It's not a very popular site and is an unusual name.

A lot of place's if you do a search for the name they also have a 'whois' feature to look to see who its registered to.Thier are also some sites(forget the name off hand)that the second its free it grabs it for another person waiting for it.

Have you figured it out yet? If not, Domainsearch.com is one place you can find the registered owner's (your) name. BTW, Snap Names.com is the one that grabs the domain name for another person waiting on it.

fwiw I just ran that program and looked around to try to figure out what you are saying. It was sitting there finished running waiting on me when I woke up. Nowhere in it can I find my email address's. It does show cookies which are written 'mike@gardenweb.com, mike@verizon.com, etc ... none of which are my email address. My computer user account/login is mike, which is where that name on each cookie came from. I dont show any firefox probably because its never been written into my registry as I've never installed it on this install of windows. If I had in the past installed a firefox and uninstalled it... it sounds like it would have left keys in the registry then I suspect SpybotSD would want to list it as protected too and write a whole bunch of unnecccessary keys blocking a whole bunch of urls under its main configuration keys. If that makes any sense and answers any of your questions... great!

firstkim, Make sure you are running the current verision of spybot-Search & Destroy open the program and it should be at 1.5, anything lower go to railheadwitzs' link & download the current version it was just updated recently to 1.5 I think this cleaner you bought is adding an entry to the registery so it runs all the time spybot may not like that looks like you have tea timer enabled in spybot that is good but No need for registery cleaner to run all the time, you can tell if it is running if it has created an icon in the task bar by the clock, a registery cleaner should run when you choose to run it.

You can renew with the same company who sent you the notice, or transfer to a cheaper service and renew with them. One cheap service I just used is http://www.dotster.com. Cheers, JoJo Here is a link that might be useful: Dotster Domain Registrar
