I am not sure if you know, but domain registrars have a policy that allows the organization or company to be able to get ahold of the domain. For example, if the domain is registered under a former employee and you cannot get ahold of that

Agreed, it’s not okay. Some companies are found guilty of reverse domain hijacking after filing a udrp.

To defend a UDRP it’s about $10,000 plus filings fees. Typical filing fee is $1500. That’s why I recommend getting domain name protection ahead of time for all your domain names. $10-20 a month can save you from having to pay big legal fees

The OP only received a letter, and hasn’t been sued. It’s not too late to set up domain protection. Business insurance and cyber liability insurance doesn’t cover domain names. You have to get a domain name protection company to cover the d

DNProtect offers domain name protection plans for exactly this reason. If the OP had domain name protection all the legal fees of defending the name would be covered.

Personal names generally cannot be trademarked. You would most likely need to have a business or other use case of your last name in order to be granted a trademark.

You need to speak with a qualified domain name attorney, not just any attorney or solicitor. As Director of a domain name protection company (and not an attorney) I can offer this: If you registered the domain name before the other party fi

I guess this also means that Auto Alexa Pro (the service that automatically improved your Alexa ranking) will stop working.

I can tell you that unfortunately that's not an isolated case. We recover stolen domain names, and it happens quite often (that someone gets into a GoDaddy account and is able to remove 2FA).

Certainly, I'm not a domain attorney. However, as someone who runs a domain name protection company, my advice is to one of two things: - Log into your domain registrar and delete the domain in your account. That will make it available

Facebook being down makes me think of all of those small businesses who never built websites. They rely on traffic and publicity from their Facebook pages only. It's so important to diversify, such as building a website.

Google will still index the url even if you block them from crawling the page via robots.txt. They will index the lane, and it can still rank well. Google just puts up a message in the results saying they’re not allowed to crawl the page.

That’s a good idea,but google sometime crawls without the google user agent. So that’s not going to be 100 percent foolproof. You’d be better off just blocking all of the ip addresses that google crawls from. There are lists of those out th

I agree with what you’re saying, but one could argue that Google is not a publisher or a nees organization. The knowledge graph isn’t owned by google, it’s a collection of data that many sources contribute to. If google were a publisher or

That’s not true, it doesn’t necessarily have to have a photo or image. See the explanation and comment from Danny Sullivan from Google regarding this.
