If a domain is taken...
If a domain name is taken and I would like the chance to buy the domain from the owner, is there any service/website that can help me with this process?

Thanks.

I'd email them asking if they'd want to sell, there are several escrow sites out there but make sure you find good reccomendations of them and its worth it - after all if the owner doesn't want to sell it they don't have to...

Back ordering or NetworkSolutions.com are the most common methods used to snatch up those expired domains. However neither are guaranteed since other people may be competing for the same domains.

If the domain hasn't expired yet, or has barely expired, there is a good chance that you can contact the registrant directly and make an offer that will leave you both satisfied.
