: How to take back our domain name? Sorry if this is not the right place to ask this question but I couldn't find the right stack-exch site to ask this. We have registered a domain name a

If the registrar is in the U.S. you may be able to reclaim the domain if it contains your company trademark. The Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act passed in 1999 was created specifically so companies can prevent other people from owning a domain that dilutes their trademark. So any domain similar to or containing your trademark would apply. This also protects you from typosquatters as well.

However, if it's a generic domain and you never trademarked the domain name itself, then you're SOL.

I know your pain, the same thing happened to me before.

Usually you would have to contact the person who "sniped" you and ask them, but the reason they do the sniping in the first place is to get money out of you to get your domain back.

What I ended up doing was just to switch TLD, from .com to .org - you can try this, or get a similar but different domain name (for instance add a hyphen if there are two words in the name)

Best of luck!
