Coming up with a great domain name is one thing. But after all that, losing that domain name to someone else can be frustrating. Web hosting Dubai companies can help you with finding a domain just as good. That’s the easy way. Plan B involves attempting to get a hold of that domain name from the current owner among a few other tricks.

Here’s something that could get your hopes up, and hopefully get you that lost domain.

A Different Domain

First things first. Ask yourself if you can settle only for that domain that you had been wanting. If you are willing to compromise a little, you can just slightly modify the domain and see if the ‘v2.0’ domain name is available. 

Adding a word before or after your original domain name idea can make a big difference in the domain realm. However, try not to add hyphens or other symbols in the name to modify because that can get things a bit complicated. Make sure the domain name is memorable to potential visitors.

A Different Extension

.com extension would probably be what you have in mind for your domain. But the fact is that other extensions can have more authority than a .com extension depending on a few factors. 

.net, .co, or the extension for your country could be available. You can choose to go for this temporarily. Maybe you will get a chance to buy that original domain name later if it becomes available.

The Present Owner

If you are unable to settle for a slightly modified domain name, then you will have to find the present owner of that domain you wished for. Make him a better offer. Get in touch with the owner and see if you can acquire the domain name from him for a little more cash than what he spent buying it. If you play it right, maybe they will be willing to part with it for your cause.

The Offer

Before making an offer on the domain, you need to keep a few things in mind.

• The price they will demand could be higher than your expectations
  
• Talk with them about the domain first, and if they are willing to sell it before making an offer
  
• You can hire a domain name broker to negotiate in your place. They are good at this.
  
• Or you can just wait till the domain expires, and then buy it
  

Giving it your best shot one last time is still better than giving up hope. There is still a luck factor though. But in many cases, domain owners don’t mind selling their domains if they are approached with a good offer.
