WHOIS for .gs?

[Brian123]

Can anyone tell me where I can find a WHOIS for .gs domain names?
I registered quite a good one last night, I have the confirmation email saying its mine, but it is still showing as available today?
Thanks.

EDIT:*
South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands (.GS)

This is now being run by Project Atlantis and CoCCA, not Adamsnames.tc

Strange, I will have to fix the WHOIS now :td:

Many whois returned this. Where did you reg it? You should be able to check with your registrar's whois?

I know who runs it, but I cannot find the public WHOIS server. I can't even find a web-based one! The site that runs it only has ones for ki, af etc.

I am doing tests now...

This is going from bad to worse!

I reged a very high ranking keyword on Tuesday night, Wed morning I had a confirmation email from my register, telling me it was mine. 24 hours later the name was still showing as available, and when you typed the name in the address bar, it just brought you to Google, saying the page cannot be found etc...

Last night I emailed the company who I reged it with, and they are now saying it still hasn't been reged, but they are "working on it"

I have a bad feeling I haven't got this one!

*EDIT* Just emailed the register again, here is the reply:
Hello,

The email that was sent out was system generated when the account was set up for you. We still are having difficulty in registering the domain name. It would probably be best if I process a refund for the order.

Whats going on? Can anyone shed some light on to why they are having "difficulty"?

They switched over only recently, registrars may have to re-register themselves with the new owners etc.

The site does say that they have a public whois up, but I can't find it for love nor money! Also, it doesn't appear they are taking regs at the moment either

qwhois.net has updated to the new .gs whois server by the way.

Hopefully, .im will get their act together and create one soon!
