on november 4 2011 it was around 11:00 pm Pacific Time I was searching for a domain on goddady.com thinking about a new venture, i came up with the idea of a good domain name to put to my new venture, it is hellocell, and obviously i searched for the hellocell.com and the name was available a the regular price of $11.99 or around those numbers, so far great, i will come back with my credit card to get it, it took me about half of an hour to come back, i checked it again and I read this: HelloCell.com is available as a Premium Domain Name! (click here for info) This Premium Domain Name can be purchased for $1,095.00*.

What is a Premium Domain Name?

For more information on this domain, call (480) 366-3343. them and/or their partners own this name now, shame on you godaddy.com, I am posting this almost as it had happened, anyone can corroborate this, I hope they do not reverse that info.

here is the whois report: Registrant: HugeDomains domains@hugedomains.com THIS DOMAIN IS FOR SALE 1422 Delgany Street Suite 400 Denver, CO 80202 US +1.303.893.0552

Now I can get this name I gave them for $1195.00 What a shame. I will not look for any other domain thru godaddy, cause i simply do not thrust a company and affiliates with this kind of practices.

Someone beat you to it?? thats the worst answer ive ever heard.

AUTHOR: holdemgang - (USA)

POSTED: Tuesday, October 10, 2017

Its called domain hijacking and its happened to me personally twice. I did a little digging around the person that has the 480 number you mentioned owns thousands of premium domain names. Im gonna say whoever it is works for godaddy and they hijack decent domain names and resell them for on average 2 thousand dollars. I wish someone would really look into this because it shoul be illegal. I wish someone would hack 480 dude and have a 99cent firesale on all his domains

You stated...
on november 4 2011 it was around 11:00 pm Pacific Time I was searching for a domain on goddady.com thinking about a new venture,

But here is what WHOIS Shows...
Domain Name: HelloCell.com
Creation Date: 10/4/2011
Expiration Date: 10/4/2012
Last Updated Date: 10/5/2011
Domain Locked: True


- Sorry but someone beat you to the domain name by a month.

Perhaps you should pick up a domain similar to that one before someone else does.  After all you have now put on a PUBLIC web site the domain name you want, and there are probably more than a few who might want to take advantage of you.
