Domain providers (especially the smart ones) have to protect themselves and limit their liability because there are certain things they really have little to no control over, especially if the registrant is "careless" enough to get their login credentials compromised in any way. However, the domain provider can act promptly if alerted right away. The tricky part is "proving" the domain name was indeed stolen. To that end, contact Yahoo or whoever you originally registered the domain name with and try to get more information as to what happened. No one around here can accurately and authoritatively say it was indeed stolen without further information. For all we know the original domain registration actually encountered billing problems and wasn't processed properly, or was probably refunded. If that happened, the domain name will eventually be deleted and available for re-registration by anyone. Again, contact the domain provider and get specific answers. The sooner the better. You can send me an email through my username if you need more info. I can't promise (no one can) you'll be able to get the name back, but I might be able to "diagnose" with more details provided.<br><b>References : </b><br> I have to partially disagree with the answer above having worked in the domain registration business: your domain provider’s legal fine prints will tell you what both you and the domain provider can and can’t do.

Ask them to get it back for you. It is their responsibility to get it back if you paid them for the domain.<br><b>References : </b><br> You need check with who you bought the domain name from.
