GoDaddy registration problems

[santis]

Hi,
i guess Godaddy has a problem, or i have, or both...

1. I check in domain bulk registration 30 domain names, 15 of them appear like availaible, but in individual domain search it says that all 30 domain names are already taken.

2. I have registered a .net domain name with Godaddy and after 5 minutes i receive a email that says:
"Unfortunately, the following domain name registration was unsuccessful:

B......NET

Error: B.....NET: cannot register - already registered
If we are unable to successfully register the domain name, your account will be credited accordingly."

What is wrong with them?!?!

What can i do in that case? It is just frustrating :td:

Had the same issue in the past 2 days. Even if you check every domain separately, sometimes they appear as available. After you register it and pay for it, the domain is not active(it can be in your account already, even if you receive the unsuccessful registration email). Sometimes the status is Reconcile, and this means in will disappear from your account and a refund will be sent.

I think the problem is the design change and maybe some internal changes.

Nodaddy is not a reliable place to check domain availability.

Unfortunately, this is a common occurrence with blodaddy. If the available name seems too good to be true, it typically is. Therefore, it is best to verify availability with another source, before you complete checkout. IMO.

The funds should be refunded automatically, but you can always call them or post on their social networking to vent frustrations.

" nodaddy " " blodaddy" buahahhahahahahahaha...pmsl!!

If I can ask..were they expiring domains? Because I read about this issue somewhere else on the forum about dropping domains which obviously have been caught by HD....
I have never experienced it that's why I am asking

I've had bad experiences with low daddy and am using Namecheap as my registrar, free whois protection and they have a never ever up sell policy. Can't wait till I have no dealings with those other folks any more. Finding a new registrar was easy, a host not so much, I am gonna try web hosting hub and will report back to the community, there is probably a better forum for that... Also photon I have had issues with GD playing games and saying a name is available but only at auction for XXXX, when I could just go to namecheap and grab it for reg fee. I think the answer is no more of a certain someone in your life

the xxxx issue happened to me too a couple of times but if you click add to cart it will come up reg price! I think that happens because they have old listings in their auction system.

I too have some names at NameCheap but I have had a horrible experience with them at the beginning when, for no reason, I mean for no reason, they suspended my account and RELEASED ALL MY DOMAINS WITHOUT EVEN WARNING ME!!! ( now I say it was a fluke as the majority of them were crappy lol ).
Also they are more expensive. I have some with Dynadot which is nice but if you are in the domain industry and you trade domains you have to have a Godaddy account. Unfortunately, someone would say.
