I hate GoDaddy sometimes

[scoops22]

I was on godaddy looking for .mobi's and came across a .com available.The .net,.info,.org where taken so I snatched it up.It didnt come through so I check my email...and whattayaknow. It was allready regestered ,they'll be sending me a refund.Similar situations like this have happened to me on there over the past several months.Seems like theyd do a better job on this. I just wanted to share,Thanks

Wow ,still on my .mobi search ,not even 3 looks later ,I find another .com available,ALL other extentions taken.So this time I go check the net and ofcourse ,It exists.Wow.

Don't be suprised, it happened to me with Godaddy about a month ago. I snatched up all the great keywords in the .be extention, but they were all actually registered. See this thread:

My c/c got charged, then they had to refund the purchase. Actually made a couple of bucks from it cause of the exchange rate when they refunded was in my favor. I guess that's another way of making a few bucks, hehe.

It happened to me serval hours ago, when I registered BusinessTalk.mobi,
It appeared BusinessTalk.com available to reigistered...

But I didn't believe in Godaddy. This was not the first time they did so.
I checked on Moniker, unavailable....

this happens with all registrars at times, it's not specific to gd

All registars do this at times, Ive heard GD Doing this more then any other, thats why I use NC =D

Godaddy, does not provide it's customers a "Live" system. You are better checking availability at either Moniker.com or EnomCentral.com (which are live) . If the domain shows it's available at either one of those, 99.9% of the time, it's going to be avail.

like others I always check for availability on moniker first.

Use another registrar (maybe not only for domain availability check only but for the actual registration too)

this happened to me last month. it is always better to check on multiple registrars before trying to register it

Yes, I remember when I bought roses.mobi at godaddy but of course it was just a dream.
