.be - Just bought Casino, Poker & other top keywords!

[htmlindex]

I was searching Godaddy & couldn't believe all the top keywords were available in the .be extention! Ended up buying top keywords including Casino, Poker, Travel, Sex, Realestate, etc. & order went through & I received the confirmation invoice for the purchase. I presume they already charged my c/c otherwise I wouldn't get the confirmation invoice. Checked my account in Godaddy, & the domains are not there! How can this be, it's been already 20 mins since my purchase?

 

[networkmsia]

thats weird, usually godaddy only takes 1 or 2 minutes at most and the domains should appear.

Are you a resident of Belgium ? perhaps that could be the problem

 

[nmr86]

those domains are long time ago registered..

you should do more research before registering as a madman

I did a whois search after finding out that I received no domains in my account & found they were registered a while ago. How can GoDaddy say they are available, allow you to place the order, send you a congratulations invoice & charge your credit card, when the domains were not available in the 1st place?

I have registered many domains through them & never had this problem before. I got the following automated email from GoDaddy for each & every name I registered just now saying that the domain order failed to register:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following domain name has failed to be registered:

CASINO.BE

Error: CASINO.BE: already exists in CCTLD database

We will evaluate this error and retry the registration
if appropriate.

If we are unable to successfully register the domain
name, your account will be credited accordingly. Please
allow one business day for the refund to be processed.

Please contact GoDaddy.com if you need any further

congrats

 

[nrmillions]

you should have already known that top keywords like that would all be taken or at least some of them. that happens with godaddy a lot. next time check whois or type the name in your browser first to see if its taken.

The domain check at godaddy is not reliable.
For .be you can check via the registry: http://dns.be/en/home.php

 

[goodkarmaco]

Yeah,

Godaddy who is check never works for me and if it does it loads as slow as molasses.

sorry to learn about your story.

even for .com/.net, GD's search seems always late by 24 hrs or so.

(hope you have not quit your day job)

You know what they say:

Don't buy hosting from a company specializing in domains
and don't buy domains from a company that specializes in making superbowl commercials.

You could reg TV.at at RegisterFly.com, thought 2char .at is not allowed

I once registered Poker.de at GD... Then I found out that their whois is not real-time, and there whois for ccTLDs seems to be lagging by a year...

Thats a right Bummer

Nice way for them to earn interest off your money eh ! Are they quick to refund it or do they try the "credit your account" idea ?

It took me ages to get money my back off them for the great .eu fumble !

[mkylut]

so far, GD refunded my money, quick and smooth.

Thats not so bad, but it should'nt really be happening in the first place.

.be, .cc, .at, .de- all of them were showing top keywords avail to reg at godaddy- all wrong- must have been a glitch- looks like it might be ok now- but yesterday- crap you could reg anything in those extensions!

 

[Ronald Regging]

Its not a "glitch", a glitch implies an unexpected error, this type of thing is normal at GD, so it's only unexpected if you don't know about it

Check the recent .be policy changes (Received by email, but also subject of discussion here) - might not be the best extension for speculation at the moment.
