Just a thought, but did you find out how much they want for the domain
name? If it *is* the hosting site, it might not cost extra, but there's
no way to know without asking how much.

Okay, squatters, nice to know, Larry.
When you go to the original sites, it says someone is willing to sell
this domain name.
You're probably right, the hosting site could have done it.
One thing, though, even with .org and .com changes, all my old files are
still there, so just moving them over.
What a relief!!!

Domain name scammers!
Actually, the term is squatters. It's often the registrars themselves
that do it, because it doesn't cost them any money.
For historical reasons (the name of my first xenix box was limited to 7
characters), when my email went from a bang path
ucscc.ucsc.edu!red4est!lrc, to domains red4est.felton.ca.us, I then
registered red4est.com rather than redforest.com. By the time the web
became popular enough, someone else had registered redforest.com and
when it lapsed a squatter had taken it.
