I'd like to register my last name as a domain. It isn't a terribly common name like Smith or Brown.
A WhoIs search shows that Net Identity currently owns the domain. There is no actual web site. The registration expires in 6 months. The WhoIs information included a "Get your own name@mylastname.com email address"
My question - is it realistic to think I might have a shot at registering this domain if I use a back-order service (Pool, ExpireFish, etc)? Is it realistic to even think that NetIdentity would release the domain? Should I bother spending my money on a back-order service?
Any advice is greatly appreciated
If it makes you feel better, I'll tell you a secret: Having your last name as a domain isn't always as practical as it sounds. I've got mine, and people never believe me when I tell them my e-mail address.
