Hundreds of millions of dollars are at stake as the current price freeze on Dot-com domains is set to expire on November 30, 2018. Verisign, the company with the exclusive rights to issue Dot-com domains, will likely then seek a price increase. Individuals and small businesses will bear the brunt of the price increase which will have the effect of a multi-hundred million dollar “tax” on the Internet economy.

That's right. You may not be the legal owner. Whoever is the legal owner of your domain name, that person has total control over it including - what Web site it points to, what domain name registrar maintains it, changing information about your domain name account, controlling who administers it, and being able to sell it.
In the many classes I've taught there's always someone who unfortunately has to deal with this issue. Here are some tips on how to find out who owns your domain and what to do if it isn't you.
