Whois Hijacking My Domain?
Leave it to the domain-squatting industry to come up with a way to jump claims.
It all started with a message from a reader. She was planning to put a Web site up and needed to register a domain name.

She went back in a day or two to register it and, lo and behold, it had just been registered to an outfit named Chesterton Holdings.
I decided to run some tests, so I picked three names out of the air and checked them with the CNet Domain Search page including myfuzzycat.com and lickmynose.com. I let the matter go and about 30 hours later I checked with a separate whois service and determined that the domains belonged to Chesterton Holdings.
