Err.. what? (Error)

Ringr · 08-04-2004, 08:37 PM

Okay so theres this domain I really want. Droplists say its deleted - but on Godaddy it says its still registered and when I look up the WhoIs I get his "The Registry Whois service did not respond. Please try again later."

So, I try other WhoIs sources, and they say they cant find matches.

Supposedly this domain isnt available to Godaddy, but to some other places it is.

Whats going on?

whois wasn't updated when you checked... probably the domain ur checking was regged with GD

Damn, someone bought it already.
Sucks to be me - I never get any good domains when they expire.

most domains that are half good are backordered so normaly you dont have a chance doing it manualy.

Whos the best backorderer?
Is Godaddy good?

pool.com gets the most names, but they are very expensive and a pain to work with

enom drop club is next best, then godaddy or namewinner
