I bought <a href="http://britishstudent.ca">britishstudent.ca</a> at domainsatcost, it seems to be a good and well priced place for .ca<div>The fact that the website is still up suggests it isn't a mean domain grabber (it would have been replaced with bad ads by now).</div>
<div><br></div><div>Does anybody know what the whois was before it was set to expire? I think there are websites where you can check whois history(like checking whois live) but you have to register(free) for the history and I don't like to do that(maybe I should).</div>
<div><br></div><div>I'm surprised the whois is so short, it might be worth contacting domainsatcost to ask for more details. I don't know what the requirements are for providing domain owner contact information. I know some companies offer to mask your info by putting an email address that forwards to the owner.</div>

Well, I'm no expert on this.<br><br>All i know is that before 2 days ago, it was registered to user:Dshpak (he's the OSM mapper who did all the nations coastline) or made the conversion program or something?<br>
It then time lapsed, and it looks like it got picked up my a domain collecting thing. <br>

<br></pre>Jason Reed hosts the data, but does't have access to editing the website. I reached him on facebook (i don't know what his email address is, he's not active in OSM right now)<br><br>and Nicolas Gignac is interested in editing the page, so it includes french (and update it more probably)<br>

<br>So you'll need to contact Jason Reed & call Domainsatcost.ca (it's a 613 number) I dont know, would they have access to the history of the domain? I'll message him on facebook asking to contact you.<br>
<br>I'm no good at this stuff. Its especially difficult if you register a domain with Google... then nothing can be done on the website (see <a href="http://acrosscanadatrails.com" target="_blank">acrosscanadatrails.com</a>) you dont even get ftp access & it isn't linked to other Google services. .. which is rather annoying.<br>

Hey all, a quick reminder that the website domain has expired, and its<br>
past the renew date. I havent been able to get contact with<br>
user:Dshpak (who is the owner)<br>
So if he let it laps, it maybe available.<br>
<br>
Anyone want to purchaise it? Im sure whoever does will be willing to<br>
allow for multiple admins, so this wont happen again. :-)<br>
<br>
Any takers?<br>
Sam<br>

I just looked at the Whois and it appears to be renewed until next year now. Hopefully the "right" person renewed it.<br>
