---> Papaano niyo nabawi yung domain ninyo chief?
---> Yes, I know. I only used the word "robbed" because that's exactly what I felt when I received the mail from my new host telling me that my old domain is already taken. I mean, shucks, at first I thought "who would want my whole name as their domain?".
And yes, upon further investigation, I also found out that old and established TLDs like my [previous, original] domain are being sold in an auction- ranging from USD300 to 5K! So maybe, I'll just wait till next year. Baka hindi na rin nila irenew. Kahit sa U.S. pa ako nagwowork and earning USD, hindi ko pa rin papatusin raket nila. As for now, settle na lang muna ako sa .PH na domain siguro (shucks, bad trip pa dito sa atin, sobrang mahal ng local domain natin!).
Actually, yung original owner ng PLDT.COM (Philippine Lap Dance Troupe... hehehe!) eh nauna yata talaga by 1 or 2 years sa PLDT Co. sa pagpaparegister nung domain. Ngayon, siguro napagkasunduan na nila sa price kasi nare-redirect na sa PLDT.COM.PH eh. IMO, napakaslim ng chance na makalimutang iparenew ito nung previous owner. Mahina na milyon siguro ang nakuha niya doon.
Anyways, baka bayaran ko na lang nga din in advance yung pinasubscribe ko na domain ngayon. Medyo mahal kasi (Php1950/year for a .PH domain WTF) so baka sa January ko na mapaextend.
Thanks for all the replies!

ph domain ba kinuha sa'yo? kung ph, malamang insider yan bebenta nga sa'yo. 1950 a year? I had our company registered sa dot.ph sa emerald 2 months back. 3500 for 2 years.

Why did you get the com.ph domain? Why not get a cheaper .com domain?

It also happened to us twice, because we forgot to renew our domain name. I believe godaddy has this auto-renew feature which is pretty usefull and you should use this if you plan to keep your domain name for a long time. I don't know about the local domain name registrars.
as an aside, in the olden days, anyone who does not move 'ala luksa during Holy Week, especially...
