For months now, Marc has been joking that he’ll sell me a domain I should have owned years ago. So yes, I really intended to get the domain abeolandres.com last month, and I thought I already did (along with several other personally branded ones).
I’m supposed to start my photography blog today. Imagine my utter surprise when I checked the domain a few minutes ago:
Domain Name: ABEOLANDRES.COM
Registrar: ULTRARPM INC. DBA METAPREDICT.COM
Whois Server: whois.ultrarpm.com
Referral URL: http://www.ultrarpm.com
Name Server: SK.S1.NS1.NS180.CNOMY.COM
Name Server: SK.S1.NS2.NS180.CNOMY.COM
Status: ok
Updated Date: 24-dec-2007
Creation Date: 24-dec-2007
Expiration Date: 24-dec-2008
Okay, all along I thought I already had that domain. Dang, and I thought somebody else using “yugatech” on Twitter was enough name-jacking. Either these guys think I’m gonna buy back that domain for a premium or maybe get some nice traffic and monetize the landing page.
I know, it’s my fault. Should have gotten it way earlier.
Tough luck indeed. I’ve long since given up trying to get ninafuentes.com (though if I *did* succeed in getting it, I should be so lucky because the domain is pretty popular heehee)
Hayaan mo na Abe. 1 year lang naman yung registration nila.
dotph nalang kunin mo
naunahan ka din sa olandres.com, brother abe?
ambibilis talaga. buti nga me grace period expiring name kung hindi baka nawal isa ko ding domain lol
[...] Abe Olandres loses abeolandres.com to a domain squatter. [...]
hey Abe, i just checked ABEOLANDRES.COM on goddady.. available pa ata ah.. also checked on domaintools for the whois.. la naman info… might want to double check…
@rd, you’re right! It’s available again. So Andre was right, it’s just domain tasters. They let it go after a week.
Hahahhaha.
Happy new year to you abe. LOL. (I should start buying domain names of popular pinoy bloggers. Hmmm.) 
how about yugababeh.com hehe
Its because sir Abe was famous.
gusto nilang binta ang domain ng mas mahal. 
abeolandes.com, abeolandrez.com, abeolandtes.com for sale
Да уж Мне кажется, об этом пишут уже на каждом блоге
Обалдеть просто! Все, блин, об этом знают, кроме меня
