Some say taken some say still available??

[PinguSpy]

I'm wanna buy some expired domain ..
when I check trough different hosting/domain provider ..

some say the domain = taken..

and some hosting/domain provider say = available


so what is the real result??

dem I like that domain..

 

[HostMantis]

The one that said the domain was available was probably the registrar it expired with?

 

[PinguSpy]

no i'm test 2 hosting provider = available
and other 2 hosting provider say = taken ??

???

 

[HostMantis]

That's weird. Did you try searching directly through a registrar such as name.com or godaddy instead of a hosting company?

use this Whois lookup and Domain name search

It depends which source the WHOIS lookup program was using. If the WHOIS lookup is just checking against the zonefile to see if the domain is there then it will show that the domain is available even if it is pending delete. If the WHOIS lookup does an actual WHOIS lookup then it may have a more accurate result.

already pay for that domain ..
now the support say.. he now waiting from register ...

50/50 if i got that domain

because godaddy say = taken
other local from my country say it still available

btw just waiting...

i think i can't get that CVCV domain ...

Godaddy usually has pretty accurate whois info, so if they say the domain is taken, then more than likely it's taken.

when i'm check using snapnames.. it say the domain will expired in 2 day..
hmm maybe i should bookedoder that domain

Actually no. They must be querying the zone file, I dunno but it's not realtime.
