question Domain is available in GoDaddy while it is not available in other registrars

[John Rey]

Hello,

I search an .io domain in Godaddy and its available, then I search the exact domain to other registrars to compare the price and it seems that it is already taken. Why is that? Should I continue to buy it?

Just look up the Whois for the domain.. you’ll get your answer.

Yes, I've already look the Whois and it is registered in GoDaddy. The domain is still available to buy at godaddy.

It does not show the price of the owner. Like this:

That is a lot of potatoes.

Sometimes GoDaddy does that. You will see a domain name available to register when the name is actually registered. Try to add the domain name to cart and checkout, you won't be able to do that.
