Anyone know about ResellServ.com?

There is a .com I am very keen to acquire which expires tomorrow. Of course, it may still be renewed, is there anything I should do before tomorrow, the registrar is ResellServ.com who have a really strange, old website, what's their deal? TIA

Nobody knows anything about resellserv then?

Does it really expire tomorrow, or will it go through the usual expiry/auction route?

Tomorrow has become today, we will see I guess...

Many months later I am still trying to acquire this domain. Countless emails to Resellserv are going unanswered. Can i file a complaint to ICANN or some other body that they are neglecting their registrar duties? I don't want to be an arse, I just want the domain but can find no way to get it.

This is a familiar scenario. I spent a couple of years trying to acquire a .com, without success. The Registrar was in clear breach of ICANN rules, but nobody cares.

I used their online facility to report Whois errors. ICANN replied three months later to say the issue was resolved, but they had not even bothered to look at the Whois record.

I explained the details in an AD post some time ago.

Buying a .com - an impossible task?

My advice would be to save your energy and move on. There must be thousands of domains in a similar situation.

so they have a domain that you want yes?

If they don't wish to sell or deal with you that's their prerogative, not much you can do.

Not sure what you'd achieve by going to ICANN!

No, they are the registrar, the registrant is RSI expired domains. The registrar told me last year it was in the suspension phase and would drop, it was incorrect, they renewed it. Its nameservers point to SEDO but its not available to purchase. Crazy situation, registrar wont help, domain unwanted, unused and unable to buy by a willing buyer!

Interestingly, I just had a reply from Resellserv, only because I threatened ICANN. They simply said 'do you own a trademark over the name'

Some things we will never understand. The indifference of ICANN, and Registrars refusal to delete expired domains is one example.

Looking at that website they ma have been out of business for years. Good luck anyway - I hope you get a result

Its a long game, my advise, book it in with the major drop catchers that will take a booking without it being in the drop cycle - one day maybe you'll get lucky.

I monitored and chased my surname .com for over 5 years, in the end, when it dropped it went through the Namejet auction process, and now its mine

Cheers. Suddenly, its available to buy on SEDO.... my bid is in, fingers crossed.

Were you successful - any thoughts on what spurred them into action?

Hi, glad you asked...yes persistence paid off, I was a bit pushy and dropped a few lines about my thoughts on what was happening, perhaps that worked - anyway I got my name malagaproperty.com

@Domaintial like who?

persistence paid off

Well done. Another good domain released from the clutches of an errant Registrar. We may try the same tack with NetSol, but they are a tougher nut to crack.

Buying a .com - an impossible task?

A successful acquisition, after four years of chasing. The CEO persevered, with much patience and some assistance he gained an introduction to a senior figure at web.com, who referred him to a contact at NetSol.

Apart from the hassle and delay it was a good outcome. Buyer was happy to pay the price set by NetSol. Many more .com's that were out of reach, can now be bought.
