Default Did someone forget to re-register the domain?

Just went to http://www.aufalcon.com/riksta to check out which pics I had of my car on there, and I got a page "Default marking puppy for sale at aufalcon.com". I then took the "riksta" part off the end to make it http://www.aufalcon.com and it did the same thing.

On a brighter note, http://www.aufalcon.com.au is still working.

LOL, well that's why I went and pointed it out ASAP so that it could get fixed, hopefully its not being camped now and hopefully they don't want some exorbitant fee from us to buy it back.

Default not available

Rather than let a scalper get it, I just tried to buy it
(for the group, of course)
and the two sellers I tried both said "in use, not available"
So lets hope its "us" that have it tied up and not someone else

A nephew of mine recently lost his .com domain name close to renewal time by what he's sure was some underhand deal on the part of his reseller/host.
You can't be too careful.

It would appear that the .com registration has lapsed and is currently unobtainable - or alternately someone has amended the DNS entries for it to point to the current placeholder. I don't know which as we do not control that registration.

The .au domain name (which we do control) is still current and resolves correctly to the site.

While the issue is resolved the site can be accessed via the aufalcon.com.au URL.

Cheers

It's not looking good. Someone else has control of the domain and I've seen that puppies thing, blastsearch.net and some .nu advertising / business portal site linked to our beloved domain in the past few days.

I've tred contacting the original domain registration company and they are no help. I got in touch with Casper and yesterday he said he was trying to re-register it, haven't heard since and there's no change in its behaviour.

I'm quite worried that we've lost it and all our branded stuff is written off.

There's websites out there that list instantly expired domains for the purpose of people snapping them up for profit. Quite competitive.

I'm hoping these "businessmen" can be reasoned with like human beings and we can try to appeal to the new owner from the non-profit club / organisation perspective that we are.

there are laws against cybersquating with .au domains the domain can be taken back and all it normally takes is a threat of prosecution. there have been a few of thes lately

Uh oh.... Cant get into the cars... Even if you put an .au in.

Eg.. http://www.aufalcon.com.au/james22xr8
And if you try to access from your link of course it doesn't contain a .au
