I saw shopping.asia unregistere and it disappeared in seconds

[alanj878]

Like one day I was submitting a keyword list of domains to moniker mass registration checker to see which domains were available and behold I saw shopping.asia a highly prized asia unregistered I was like I would save this and register this one when I get a list of premium domains and which only took me a couple of seconds (actually 5 minutes using moniker) I copied the list went to godaddy and tried to registered and behold it was gone. Which I almost went in cardiac arrest and I guess it really brought some new light to register good domains and see them.I was wondering too have you guys had any experiences like that one

shopping.asia along with about 500 others were reserved by .asia in october

I think you cant register the domain.
"The domain, shopping.asia, is a Governmental Reserved Name and is available for registration only by eligible applicants."

Hope it helps.

^ Yeah, right ... :p

It will be used to profit for the Registry, as best they see fit IMHO.

They will still allow you to 'register' it at most places, and then send you an email sometime after saying the reg failed. You then have to chase a refund. Bit of a joke really.

you should be thankful that they dont take your money first and then tell you that the domain name is actually reserved:D

yes that does happen which is not very good, this is another problem with the .asia administration
