    Hi, we cancel our domain ‘audreycreighton.com’ with wordpress and are still waiting for it to hit the open market to buy again through another domain provider. I recall one of your agents saying it would take a week. It has been over a month and it is still ‘taken.’ Can you confirm when it will be released? Thank you very much! Sean Creighton

    Hi Sean!

    I checked the whois status and the domain is deleted and available again:

    https://whois.domaintools.com/audreycreighton.com

    You deleted the domain about a month ago, so it should be able to register elsewhere now as it is no longer registered with us. Have you tried registering the domain elsewhere?

    Thanks, Darnell! When I try to register it on Directnic or Godaddy it says it is taken still. Hmm. Strange. I figure the system would be current by now since it has been over a month.

    ah, so now I see Audrey can buy her domain back for $3000. That is so sad and lame that Snapnames grabbed it away from her because it couldn’t transfer back to Squarespace smoothly from WP. I checked everyday for it to hit the market and it never did, even though it said it was available. She worked so hard on the site for her friends and family.

    Hi there,

    Oh no. Unfortunately, it sounds like domain squatters have purchased the domain and are charging a ridiculous amount for you to get it back from them. Squatters are known to sit and wait to grab personal domains like your daughter’s right when they are released from redemption just so they can force you to pay a hefty price to retrieve the domain from them.

    The biggest hope now is that they will drop the domain next year.

    I would suggest purchasing a different domain (audreycreighton.blog maybe?) assuming you’re not willing to pay the squatting price.

    Sorry to hear that this happened. Let me know if you have any questions.

    Thanks!

    Thanks, Darnell. I wrote to the squatters to see if they’d release it for less. Otherwise, we will watch it for future release. We did buy audreycreighton.net in the meantime.
