whats up?
I usually use namecheap, and I have noticed that quite a few times they claim a domain is not available, when other registrars say it is available. This has happened when I checking newly dropped domains.
Today however.. when I was about to try to register a .biz domain (that dropped today) I tested with with godaddy first. Godaddy said it was not available. I then tried namecheap, and it said it was available. I went back to godaddy to try again, and it said not available. I then tried namecheap and it said available agian. I tried then to purchase, and it went fine, no problems, and is now confirmed mine (whois)
I tried another name (.biz, dropping today) and namecheap said available. I then tested godaddy, who said not available. I went back to namecheap, and it said available again. I bought it, and it is now confirmed by whois.
WHAT IS GOING ON? Are not godaddy and namecheap really able to figure out if a domain is available or not ?
WHY is this happening ?
