Domain name theft is becoming rampant nowadays with internet businesses coming about left and right. What happens if somebody steals your domain name? Do you stand a chance if you decide to fight for it? How do you know if you're on the right side? It's so rampant that there are law firms specializing on domain disputes alone like ESQWire.com which hails itself as The Domain Name Law Firm. They even give out free consultation. So, when and if you decide to fight for a domain name you think is rightfully yours, keep in mind that you have options.

If you paid a good deal of money on your domain name, then yes, it's worth fighting for. Especially if your site already has a cult following. Surely you won't allow your regulars be redirected to another site. Plus there is this issue of "sentimentality"... the domain name may have sentimental value to the site builder. You don't want that robbed, do you?

Its nice to know that sitebuilders have an option with this domain name law firms. But prevention is still best. So a good way is to register your domain name and have it insured. Try Claims-Portal.com

If some people are willing to pay big dollars for a domain name, then I think its worth fighting for.

At an auction in Las Vegas millionaire Kevin Ham recently bought weddingcatering.com for $10,000, christianrock.com for $31,000 and greeting.com for $350,000. Now tell me - would you fight for the right for a 350k USD domain name?

I will.
