Re: FN-FORUM: Domain Issues

date posted 8th January 2006 18:12

The domain was jonnystorm.com. Everything was registered in Jonny's name
and to his addresses (home and e-mail). The domain was originally
registered by a girl in the US for Jonny but it was in his name. The thing
which confuses me is no contact or warning from Easyspace - even nothing in
the account.

Up until the day I discovered it, the domain was working fine, no issues on
the WhoIs stuff etc.

The first I was aware of it was when I checked the domain myself in an
internet browser after doing an update on the website (the hosting is hosted
on my own server - its only a forwarding domain from EasySpace).

See the issue is - the guy is a wrestler with his name being Jonny Storm, so
his name is his business so to speak which obviously is plastered on all
merchadise but not a registered company.

He's said to me he wants it back cause of the issue with all his
merchadise - its just the best way to approach it!
