A few days ago amiga.com was "parked" by GoDaddy, a WHOIS returned no results for the domain, and this from GoDaddy's registry system: "Updated Date: 29-aug-2010."
This leads me to believe that someone allowed the domain to expire and then suddenly renewed it. Maybe due to this thread or similar elsewhere. The current registrant is listed as Vince Pfiefer.
If you do a search on Whois you get ................

There is nothing suspiscious there. Takes a lot lot longer to change the status of a dot com. The Amiga Com page is empty. The page has been edited I would guess by the owner for what ever reason. If the domain was the property of a domain host and there was no owner then you would be redirected to the domain host website. The domain name is not for sale. There is quite a lengthy process in transferring the rights to the domain. Not sure if thats been happening. Cant see why a new owner would create an empty page with just the html tags on it. All the status lines are in the prohibited state so no transition is in place.
