Domain Name Registered But Not Used. Just because a domain name is already registered doesnt mean you cant buy it. The domain just has to feel right and you dont want to settle for an alternative.
But unless you can prove a bad faith registration you might not have any claim at all to that domain name. If the domain name you want is being used on a successful actively maintained commercial website chances are slim the owner will sell it to you. Registering a domain name does not connect it to specific goods and services.
If you want to use it for your business youll have to acquire it from the current owner.
However if the name is reserved but isnt yet being used you may be able to get your hands on it for a price you can afford. Under this status you can still renew the domain name without incurring additional fees for a grace period of thirty days. Every week the collective domain name industry consistently sells an estimated 5-10 million of domains at prices buyers are more than willing to pay. In either case you will generally have to show that you have rights in the name that the registrant doesnt have rights in the name and that the name was registered in bad faith.
