SnapNames.com will focus on four types of domain-name problems: accidental deletions by a registrar; cancellations due to owner failure to renew; cyberjacking, in which individuals reassign name rights to themselves and employee sabotage."

A client wants a domain name that has recently expired ( like a week ago) and I asked Netsol when they were going to release it as it was the very name of my client. I have not received an answer to this question? Any insight??? Thanks. Happy Holidays.

We have a few discussions here:- Snagging a good domain name [webmasterworld.com] and Netsol Hoarding [webmasterworld.com] and Netsol Releasing [webmasterworld.com]. I am still "watching" a few domains as I am sure quite a lot of people around the world. The only thing you can do is keep watching. As discussed, if you pester Netsol too much about your wanted domain, then it may backfire on you with the original owner re-registering it, or Netsol registering it, or it being auctioned, or... Patience... Onya Woz

The name was being use by another company who's "real" name didn't even come close to the domain name in question. * IT * is the same as my clients....... I think NetSol would be treading on "thin Ice" on this one if they try hoarding or some other trick to obstruct the registering of a name that was abandoned. I am not a lawyer, but I think there would be an chorus of disapproval from a lot of interested parties. Just my personal thoughts.
