Buying Expired Domain Names

When a dot ca domain name is not renewed by the expiry date it is deleted from the previous user's account and goes into the TBR - to be released - system where anyone can then register the domain name. In order to grab the domain name you will have to place a backorder with one of the many certified domain name registrars offering that particular service. The prices vary and so do the methods they use for placing the order. Be sure to read all the rules and regulations for each registrar before placing your order. One of the best types of expired domains to grab are those that were formally websites. These domains have backlinks, bookmarks and sometimes are typed in directly by those that used the site before it expired. This means you can redirect the traffic to your other websites, place a new website on the expired domain name, or even just park the domain name to make quick money from it. But there are problems with grabbing expired domains. Sometimes an expired domain was not really meant to be allowed to expire. Some large companies leave domain renewals to employees who might no longer be with the company when the renewal time comes around and thus it expires when it would have otherwise been renewed as per normal. Other times someone might change their email address and no longer monitor the former admin contact email and they will not see the soon to expire notices from their registrar.

Domain Registry of Canada Spam Mailing Again

The Domain Registry of Canada is at it again. We highlighted this company in the past on this website but that hasn't stopped them from continuing their spamming of people's mailboxes with unsolicited bulk-mail. Today we had delivered to our postal box another letter from the Domain Registry of Canada. The letter contains information about their "easy means of payment" and weak reasoning why you should abandon your current domain name registrar for their service. Anyone receiving these notices which have changed slightly from the last one we got, will quickly notice their prices are far in excess of the major domain name registrars. It must be costing them a lot of money to troll WHOIS results to find domain name owners not using WHOIS protection in order to send them snail mails touting their over-priced "service".
