GoDaddy domain registration glitch?

[adsorbable]

Has anybody else experienced problems with Godaddys website today? I've found 2 domains today that I would've loved to pick up and they show as available until I try to actually register them. As soon as I try to add them into the cart, it goes through the process of checking for availability and then tells me the domain isnt available. I went back and checked the whois for the domains in question and they were registed over a month ago..

Its really rather annoying when you find a good one after a few hours and then its not even available.

They always show .com.au's that are already taken as available ??

This was for a .net and .online. I have used Godaddy for a long time but I am just getting into buying domains in a higher quantity. It could've been an issue that has been going on for a while, but I just noticed it today when I got aggravated about "missing" those domains lol

I've called gd re similar issue and even though it was in my cart someone else pushed the purchase button before me I prefer to purchase in groups but, if it's a gotta have, I just purchase ASAP.
Also, if you see "This domain isn't available" it only means "Isn't available here" I have found domains "available" at other registrars when not available at gd. The market is crazy fast these days !

Example of that may be premium .Tv names

It's a bug that's been there a long time. Don't use Godaddy to find available domains, just a waste of time

this happens to me all the time lol

Yep, I concur. Happens ALL the time.

I have had that happen often, but I search the name a second time and it again says it is available. I reselelet it for purchase and it puts it in my cart the second time.

Good to know.

@vivaldi: Who do you suggest to search for names?

Uniregistry and/or Hexonet. Or just a capable software

Initially it will show "Green" button saying available but once you click on it select it will say again "The domain is'nt availble".
Yes I have experienced it. And in one case I checked history and the domain was registered way back in 2005
