I started using the Internet in 1990 and 1994 on the Web. I remember when Yahoo! was only 1 page, and it was believed that there were only 100 Web-pages of the world. The companies were set up html developers (with 5-7 years experience of course), and domain names were free.
I own my domain name almost 9 years. At a time when there is nothing like “Cybersquating”, “typo domains”, etc. .. Now his problem, that many of us with at any time or another.
I discovered that people to protect their identity, once they are on a domain squatting trouble too big, but there are many tools to find the truth, to understand what they are.
How to hide Squattors-false-registration information
A tactic I’ve found is that Squattors are using false registration data to hide the actual owner of the domain names. I found that a “business” hundreds of domain names, many large companies, but each with a different postal address and a different name has been registered in the property. Many names were dumb as “Arthur arthurson”, but the company wrongly by an enumeration of all their domains to link farms, exposing their tactics.
Front of companies
Another method of the same company would be used to provide a phone number for a fictional company-sounding. If they were in the area of “exxon.com”, they are, for example, a front company and name it “Exxon Secretariat”. You tried to create a realistic looking corporate site. This method has been suspended because it uses the same phone number for all their front companies. A large number of false company turned to the Google search for the phone number.
Changing the names of the companies
I know of any other Squattor, apart from the fact that porn company involved has some areas that really should not. they were a sign that someone after them in the society but changed their name in the same physical address required, and they have more. Their names are usually “sapphire webservices” after the same topic, so the company “diamond webservices” would this year, but perhaps the last year. Keep that same contact, they are in fact the same company is available. WHOIS history tool, you can see how they changed their name to the company by year.
Refuse property
Smart Squattors will most claim that they do not have the domain name, but keep for someone else. Creates a layer of anonymity, which is difficult to break. The truth is that the registrant’s control over the domain name, and that the administrative contact must be just administrator. If someone is listed as the declarant, be they by all means the owner of the domain name.
Foreign registration
The society I cam in a far country, a register of the stranger through used to hide his true identity. You would think that this is difficult, if not impossible, to negotiate with a foreign company, if you can speak the same language. But in the case of the foreign registration was only a cover for another domestic company, who has tried to conceal the fact that there is a competitor. This error is that the Registrant was sunk on 2 areas and on the other hand, he went as an e-mail address to contact the national society, which led to the true identity.
Escrow Services
Escrow Services can sell without someone who is the real owner or who receives the proceeds from the sale of domain names. Some escrow services with cybersquatting and said that because the field of real estate is a complex problem, it is not involved. A Cybersquattor has been suspended, because the NIC a letter signed by the existing registrant, his true identity exposed. This led to the identification of other areas, where the squat.
Tools to discover of Squattors
WHOIS history can be seen, the whois records many domain owners name popular domain. Not all areas listed, but surprisingly, many are. I was able to use, to the former owners, follow the last 6 years. This tool to http://www.domaintools.com/to find
HTML tags are used in the line again and again by Squattors. Many Squattors will use parking pay sites to earn money from the domain. But in some codes affiliated person so nobody even followed multiple sites.
Google and USENET can be helpful. I not only the name of a Squattor reveal, but I found someone who is looking for him. A great way to find these people is to join forces and work together. After the keywords, the identification of the Squattor in the forum area with your contact information.
