    Domain Snatched yesterday-Un fucking believable!

    Last night I wanted to register the domain "oldhodog" for a friend who hubby and I help out with a page. I "directnicked" it and also checked the availability with the server company. Full of joy that the domain was still available I went to bed because it was getting late. This morning I tried to register it. Guess what? Gone! Someone else registered it last night

    Domain Name: oldhodog.com
    ICANN Registrar:
    NAMEKING.COM, INC.
    Created:
    22-Sep-2006
    Expires:
    22-Sep-2007
    Registrar Status:
    REGISTRAR-LOCK
    Whois Server:
    whois.nameking.com
    Name Server:
    NS11.MALTUZI.COM

    I don't know what the fuck is going on, but I can only advidse all fellow webmasters to register a domain right when you check its availability because I smell a fucking rat. Something is fishy here. Somebody must have gotten his hands on my query last night and registerd the domain right away.

    No big loss here, we are very creative when it comes to domain names. It sitll sucks because there is something going on.

    My hsuband also remembered talking to a dude in Vegas two years ago who said he checked a domain from work and when he came back home 12 hours later to register it, it was gone.

      that SUCKS.

      I've heard of people having a form of spyware that might be involved in broadcasting a domain inquiry.
      I grabbed a few names last night. Now I'm glad I did!

          Hey, I don't have time to explain the details of how / why this happened, but it's because of some outdated ICANN rules that allow registrars to chill on a name for 5 days for free.

          Wait a week and your domain will be availible again. Also, I would advise you edit your post so no one here acts like a douchebag and registers it in 5 days for real-real.
          SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

              No spyware here. Run Mac and Unix, Firewall and and SpyAlert anti spyware software, plus, I live so far from the next house that nobody can sneak up in our driveway and log into our network without getting his ass shot first by our AK-47 toting redneck neighbor.

                  OK, thanks for the advice. Take the domain, guys, I already registered another one now. Would still be nice to find out how exactly this happened, the nic says the domain expires on 9/22/07?

                              Are you really surpised?

                              It makes perfect sense that inquiries would be rich data harvest material with immediate resale value.

                              Sorry, you missed the domain you wanted, but I bet you might be doing things differently next time.

                                      Damn, that sucks. That's happened to me a few times. Now, I register a domain everytime I think up one and I'm stuck with too many domains!

                                          Don't do your Whois lookups with them anymore. They're obviously allowing data to be shared and used.

                                          Use this program.

                                                  i wouldn't "directnick" a domain or for that matter use any other third party registrars for whois.

                                                  if you're on unix it's even easier to use builtin whois to check domains and safer too.

There has to be a leak from inside one of the domain companies you searched on or manybe they own the company that snatched up your domain...

                                                                                                                          Sorry, you missed the domain you wanted, but I bet you might be doing things differently next time.

                                                                                                                          I totally agree. Domain buying is a multi million dollar business. Do you really think these guys that own registries make most of their money from helping people register an $8.99 domain? Don't trust any of em.

I DO know that I have a client or two that ICQ me if they have an idea for domain names that they want to register, just to make sure that it is completely processed.

                                                                                                                                          I think it is always best to register a domain name when you see it and it is available. I encourage this because our (Moniker's) clients have the a 4 day "grace period" allowing them to delete the domain and get a refund to thier Moniker account (minus a small reprocessing fee).

                                                                                                                                          I definitely feel for you on this one, JennyS!

Godaddy uses SSL, which provides more security. Plus, they don't register good finds.

                                                                                                                                                          GoDaddy sells the information as well. I've searched for domains on GoDaddy and when i went to register them a couple days later they are taken.
