I am going to start a website for a blog and my profession. I am not a business and have not registered a business. I have no patents or trademarks.
Basically, I'm an individual.
However, my ideal choice of domain name is taken by huge domains.com. I think they are what you'd call cybersquatters? It's not just I who has major issues with their business model.
They own thousands of domains simply to profit off them when people like me need them. My question is how can I get the domain off them? They are asking for $2100 which is frankly ridiculous. I have heard of certain solutions, but they seem to be oriented towards those with trademarks or businesses registered with a name which the cybersqautters have nicked.
I just want to make clear a couple of points:
- Please don't tell me to get a different domain name. I am trying to get this domain off hugedomains.com, not prefix my desired name with 'the' or 'my'.
- The domain I want is a .com gTLD
- I do not wish to haggle with hugedomains.com
Thanks for your time!
