I'm involved with a local organisation which has a website that I've looked after for the last 2 years. Someone informed me yesterday the site was not available (it's a season site - a local festival) so don't look at it much around this time of year.
Having checked it appears the domain was due for renewal last October and wasn't renewed (long story but I never got any renewal requests, the email address that they went to belong to someone who is no longer involved in group and now lives abroad) Went to look at renewing domain and was told that someone else had bought it.
The site www.selseyfestivities.com redirects to a name.net site and it you click on the Interested in this domain it says they will forward a bid - minimum $90 to see if person who now holds domain name is intereseted in selling it.
Question - I pressume this is legal and that there is no other option but to pay if want domain back?
Would change domain name - there are others more suitable out there which could use - but we have merchandise with that domain printed on it!
