My dad is 1/3 owner of 3 restaurants. 2 of the restaurants have been open a while and a guy who does websites decided to buy the .com domains for these 2 restaurants. I have the .net but would like to have the .com domain. This guy does not have any information up on the websites. It's just a blank page.

So I seem to recall that I have read somewhere that it is possible to obtain a website from someone if they have no information. How to i request to get this? If someone could point me in the right direction then that would be great.

Thanks ahead.

Contact him and ask if he is willing to sell that to you.
That is kind of business mate and if you agree to buy beready to pay extra dollars to that guy

If you contact him at first you will show your interest and that might cause increasing the price.

True, if you contact him he may at a few bucks to the price. Use the the information in the whois to contact him regarding the domain. http://who.is. Best of Luck!
