Hi!

I "registered" a domain one year ago by using Namezero services.

One week later, I forgot my password and asked them for send it
to my email address, but my free email provider had closed, so
I "lost" this domain's control. I decided to wait for one year
to be expired.

But I do not know to register it, because if you look for it at
WHOIS, it expired one on October 15th, and if you go to mydomain.com,
you get Namezero website.

What can I do?

Thank you very much.

Cad,

Once a domain name expires, the registar does not automatically release it.

You need to keep checking its status everyday.

Personally, I would work with your existing registrar to keep the domain
name as is.

If it is a good domain name, someone may have a monitoring service on it
that will grab the domain name as soon as it is released by your current
registrar.

EG.

There are a number of services that will automatically search for and
register expiring domain names. The one I recommend that would best suit
your needs is SnapNames. Read more at
