Hi everyone,

A client of mine let one of their domains expire (before I came along, don't blame me!) and now their site has been registered by the company that uses the Domain Parked girl image (you know who I'm talking about).

Does anyone know how to get it back under their control? Do they even have a legal right to get it back, since they let it expire after all? If not, can domains be purchased back from this seemingly-faceless company?

Thanks in advance,

Darren

Unless your clients company has a registered trademark and the domain holds the trademark identity, your client wont be able to get the domain with any legal action.
So better have your client to negotiate now with the existing domain registrar and purchase the domain for the demanded price.
