Zalliun, I'll come back to TreeStats once you get setup on a reliable server. Promise.

Totally off thread but kinda on-topic:


I want to use an existing domain name. It is owned by a small business that is no longer IN business, and their site is down. What would you suggest?


Find their contact info on the web and write to them, asking nicely if they'd release that domain name? Wait for it to expire, if such a thing is possible?

the 2 options you really have are:


1) attempt to purchase the domain name from the company (or ask them nicely to just give it to you).

2) wait for it to expire and purchase it then.


If you go with option #2, you can usually place a "hold" on the domain through a name-service provider like namesecure.com or godaddy.com.. in which case, they'll keep tabs on it, and give it to you once it becomes available (for an up-front fee).

Thanks Drak, excellent info.
