Hi all, asking to see if anyone got a similar experience.

April 2 2020 I registered Domain name Chicken//Desire//com at Porkbun.
Immediately I listed on Dan & afternic (now deleted).

Next, I wanted to update/change nameservers to point to Dan. I couldn't update nameservers. Tried to update to afternic, same issue.

I reached out to Porkbun support. While waiting for their reply which took over 8hrs to come. I checked the whois status and here was what I saw:

Status:
serverDeleteProhibited
serverHold
serverTransferProhibited
serverUpdateProhibited

I'll skip the dialogue I had with the support agent where I had to 'educate' him about ICANN EPP status codes (after I searched online). Although I believe the support agent knew and was trying to be evasive for reasons best known to them.

He kept talking about DNS not propogating and nameservers I was trying to use not correctly registered/misconfigured. This really got me angry as I expected they should have figured out the Domain status codes were unusual.

I did search Google and checked the ICANN website, which confirmed that #ServerHold & #ServerUpdateProhibited was placed on my newly registered domain name by the registry.

I gave the go ahead to the registrar (Porkbun) to contact the registry while declining to cancel the order and be refunded. This was done April 4.

16days after (more than 10 working days) there's been no update from the registry according to Porkbun.

The newly registered domain name doesn't resolve to a/any landing page.

What could have happened?
The domain name doesn't also seem to have been registered before.

Good luck with getting this resolved.

I guess it is just one of those things that happens from time to time.

Mostly in Kentucky lol.
