Beware Domain Name Poachers

Weve noticed a recent rise in unsolicited third party emails
informing clients they have a key Domain name for sale and asking
them to respond to negotiate a price. Astonishingly these domains
aren't even registered and should the client respond to this email,
the third party will then quickly secure Domains and then re-sell
them at an inflated price. This practice is perfectly legal, but
the emails are misleading and take advantage of the fact that some
bigger brands find it difficult to maintain a complete view of
their Domain portfolio. A proactive approach to securing the
international extensions that are in-line with your online strategy
is the core message of our Domain Name Management service. Our
dedicated Account Managers are fully aware it can be confusing
knowing what extensions should be prioritised. We already manage
the domain names of many of our clients that recognise their online
brand and customer experience is a priority. Should you find a
domain is registered to a third party and its important to your
portfolio or in breach of your Intellectual Property rights, we
have a recovery team on hand that will advise you as to which
options are available to you. Our acquisitions team can handle
discrete negotiations with third party registrants and manage the
entire process on your behalf. So keep an eye out for emails that
attempt to poach Domains which you could register and help secure
your international portfolio. We can secure all international
extensions available and help recover lost domains. For further
details please call 0845 363 6173 or arrange a call back.
