    Thanx for the information. Is there a relatively easy way to restore all that back with their help and permission? I would assume so, but I dont know how most of that stuff works.

    I'm not sure what quhaug is trying to say. The domain and hosting can easily be 2 different services. Someone could have stopped paying for the domain yet still have access to the machine it was on. Often people just use the same place, but there are plenty of DNS providers who are not in the hosting business.
    It is official. Redietz will never be on Dan Druff's podcast. "too much integrity"

    Correct, the domain name is registered with a international agency of some sort and there is only one of them. The hosting can be any hosting company like Go Daddy, network solutions, and probably a million others. As far as I know if you give up your website hosting it's gone forever.
    Take off that stupid mask you big baby.

    The parked domains have been given up by the owner and bought for a buck two fifty by a company that sells the domain for a profit, hopefully. In the meantime they have a page full of ads and links that they also hope to make a buck on.

    Yes, but not always.

    Sometimes the registrar you used auto-parks you while they wait for you to pay your bill.

    It's not clear if alanbestbuys was registered on register.com, or if they just bought it after it lapsed.

    And yes, Poker Fraud Alert could sell for decent money for the gambling site marketing power alone. This would be even if I abandoned the site and started a new, competing one, and asked all the users to come with me. As long as the existing site stays up as it is today, it has value because it has search engine credibility.
