Someone stole my freemcowen.com

Anyone know how I get it back???

Thanks.

According to Whois, I am still the owner.

But the site files have been deleted and replaced with a junk site.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Update: My web host was able to fix all the web sites pretty quickly.

Does this have to do with the new ICANN rules stickied at the top of Off Topic?

Wrong forum BTW. :)

Which forum??? I don't think it would be OT.

Software maybe?

In any case this is a royal Political screwing over.

ICANN has allowed anyone to Hi-Jack a site just because there is no response from the domain owner by an anonymous prodding to take the site.

In my case I have kept up with paying for renewal of the domain (for example I am paid up for freemcowen.com till 2007) but my E-mail address has changed because my ex-wife got my account I had for 14 years.

May have just been a wild server crash???

Probably
