All you need is just a little patience …

… and GoDaddy’s Back-order domain service …

It took a while, but I finally got my old domain back. The kid who sniped it from me a few years back emailed me about this time last year wanting to know if I was still interested in buying it. At the time I wasn’t (planning a wedding, don’t you know … every penny went towards that!). However, this past summer I was kind of curious if I could use GoDaddy’s Back-order service to snag it. I’ve had several friends who used the service and were able to successfully do a little sniping of their own, so I figured what the hell…

I was notified sometime last month that the domain FINALLY was set for deletion. A week later I received an email from GoDaddy that they were not able to snag the domain — a squatter company had it. So I thought oh well, I’m only out a few bucks, and didn’t really give it any more thought. Then an hour ago I received an email from GoDaddy that they had “successfully captured” the domain and that I needed to login and set up the DNS, etc. :shock:

Happy Christmas to me! :mrgreen:

So www.nitallica.com belongs to me again. Believe it or not, I still have business cards with that domain on it — I can use them again, yay! :lol:

    Glad to see you got it back. Can’t remember offhand which one it was that I gave you but glad to see you got this one. :)

    @John: :mrgreen:

    @Uncle Monster: True, but I neglected to mention that Network Solutions was the one that “lost” it to begin with. :P I was transferring it from another registrar to them, and the transfer failed — I was not notified in time to rectify things and lost the domain. After that, I transferred all my other domains to GoDaddy per a friend’s suggestion and haven’t had any problems since. :)

    @Doc: It is. :D

    @Nicki, with all the damage caused by affirmative action to the
    administrative infrastructure of this country’s government and
    business, you can’t trust that any important tasks will be carried
    out. What was the saying toward the end of The Cold War, “Trust
    but verify.” I follow up on everything these days and am reluctant
    to believe anything I’m told until I have it in writing. It’s a shame.
