Domain name Twin Peaks.com ??

Post by Soolsma »

So I've just looked up http://www.twinpeaks.com on http://www.whois.net (where you can use to check whether a domain name is registered) and it gave this:
twinpeaks.com is already registered*

Domain Name: TWINPEAKS.COM
Registrar: NETWORK SOLUTIONS, LLC.
Whois Server: whois.networksolutions.com
Referral URL: http://networksolutions.com
Name Server: NOC.UNTRACEABLE.NET

I'm really curious as to whether this could be the domain for a new official website. Then again it could just as easily be registered to the Hooters type restaurant or that one band, both having names that are homonyms to our beloved series.
Anyone know if there ever used to be an official TP website once, anywhere from 5th of feb 1995 and onward? (Even though internet was pretty scarce back then.)

(hope this will do Jerry? I thought I myself was confused about where I put the post. Sorry for the trouble and thanks for moderating this board :) )

I don't consider myself an EXPERT on these things but OF COURSE it is already registered! ALL words that are in any way meaningful are already registered. It is PROBABLY registered to someone (or Network Solutions themselves) who would want an outrageous amount of money to sell it. Since there is a real life town of Twin Peaks, I doubt it is a trademark-able name...

Cheers Soolsma!

I wish there was an official TP website. I mean, even if it was just a shot of trees rustling in the breeze. I could stare at that for hours.
