Is there a reason you didn’t just obtain a trademark for ProBlogger and then take them to court to obtain the domain name? I suppose it might have ended up costing over $5k and I’m certainly not familiar with Canada’s trademark law.

I know this comments come really late but I just noticed that problogger.com has a higher pagerank than problogger.net. How is that possible?

Scared me too! I was afraid my most useful blogging site was going into other hands, almost certainly less generous and less competent hands. But, relief, relief, it’s not happening, and I fervently hope it never happens!

I appreciate the FYI from Paul about being sure one’s credit card info is current on GoDaddy (and elsewhere too). I love GoDaddy because it is so easy to buy and manage my domains there, and because I can set them all to automatically renew.

Long ago, in a galaxy far away, when I was new online, I bought my domains from Network Solutions, where unpleasant experiences came my way. The most unpleasant being that one of my main .com domains was sold to a squatter, and I didn’t realize it for some time. The squatter wanted money, and I didn’t want to pay gouge money, so bought the .net version, and waited, and waited.

I left Network Solutions for GoDaddy and set them all to automatically renew. I eventually got my .com version back when the squatter didn’t renew. I’ll now be creating a prominent reminder to ALWAYS update my credit card info when one expires and another arrives.
