Emails / Domains [+28]

[Richie]

Just a question.


Example:
If Jin registered to paypal with [email protected] ([email protected]) and for some reason the domain expired, then someone quickly registered the domain, would the person who just registered the domain have access to his paypal if they created the exact same email address?

Also is there anyway to register a .com domain for a week or a month etc or can you only purchase them yearly?

[Flisker]

Sure if they were able to get the domain and there was a PayPal account attached, you could. No you can't buy a .com for any less than a year at a time.

[peteyt]

that's why you should use something like hotmail, gmail etc for paypal

[BeanEgg]

Theoretically you could, which is why it would be good to use Hotmail as someone already stated; but you can't register a domain straight after it has expired, ICANN have this little 'grace period' before the next person can register it :)

What ^ he said. There's a 30 day grace period on domain names where only the original owner can renew. Also, domains can't be purchased for days, weeks or months... only yearly or more.

Cheers lads


This is so annoying. I basically registered a youtube account with one of my domain emails, I don't use the domain any more and really don't fancy buying the domain just so I can take down a few embarrassing videos. Youtube staff are dumb, they don't believe I own the account. Yes youtube I really want to hack into an account that has 5 subscribers and 3 videos. Logic sheesh.

No problem mate, ah that will be a pain in the backside... You've probably already done this but have you tried claiming that you've forgotten your email, and then see where it goes from there?

I can't seem to find the option to
