domain hijack question..
 

hey guys, lets say someone takes ur domain and transfers it successfully to another registrar.. how do you get the domain back?

Tie their family up, phone them and tell them if the name is not returned you will let juicy off his leash on them after shoving 10 viagras down his throat.

There are a few ways, but the most direct way is to contact the two registrars involved and see if they can just work it out nicely. If not, you find a registrar (typically the one you were using, but any registrar works) who will file for proceedings using ICANN's Transfer Dispute Resolution Policy. But no registrar is obliged to do this, and they can charge whatever they want to do it, so you've either got to hope for a favor or prepare to get screwed even more. If the registrar you were initially using is partly to blame for the disputed transfer, they'll probably be more inclined to help you out...no registrar wants bad PR of people saying they screwed up and wouldn't help to correct the problem. If you can't get a registrar to help you, civil court proceedings would be a logical next step, but I doubt that's even been done since ICANN's latest policies were enacted...I think most fraudulant hijackings are corrected just informally between registrars.

Thanks.. So all hijacked domains can pretty much be gotten back

Know what im wondering though, what if someone sells you a domain and then the guy tries to get it back(claims you hijacked it)

bahhhhhh

You should have locked it..... :2 cents:

One of our guys had his domain stolen for a couple of months,
By the time he got it back was left with practically 0 traffic :(

No need to shove, just tell him you have Viagra and he's wide open.

exactly.

sign a contract or use escrow.com to be able to prove that you bought it
