    GODADDY coincidence??? I THINK NOT!

    So I am searching for some domain names. I gather a few that are available...

    my session timed out yesterday.

    I went back today to get the domains and alas... they are already taken!

    I looked up the WhoIs and yep, they were taken the very day I searched for them.

    Coincidence?

    Depends on a few factors.

    Was the domain really good? What's the likelihood that someone else would want the domain? Who's the domain now registered to?

    If you're implying that they registered the domain because they saw that you wanted it, its always possible but kind of a stretch. There have been instances where somebody on the inside was affiliated with a domain buyer, these insiders would track the domain purchases of other "big" domain buyers (program owners, for example) and then leak the information to the domain buyer they're affiliated with. This would only make sense in your situation if you have a history of buying "marked" domains.

    Just my opinion anyway. I have over 700 domains with Go Daddy and have never had this happen.

        Its well know many registrars either use or sell searched unbought domains for exactly this reason

              whois.sc is the worst, domain tasters be there a plenty.
              But I have seen the same with godaddy years ago when I used to foolishly use there whois, and wild west domains would knab the good domains.

              Some may be domain tasters with packet sniffers, some may be internal grabs who knows...

                    Ive had this happen to me before as well. the possibility of 2 people trying to get the same domain at the same time.... very slim

                      yep and it was definitely a unique domain IMO. That is why I don't think this would be at the forefront of someone's mind at the same time

                      Who would also think of IMAMILF.COM ? Not too fabulous of a domain but I thought it funny since people have said IM A MILF . LOL

                      anyway-it's not a coincidence and I know I'm not the only one this has happened to.

                            That sucks! Heard about that before with other registrars, never GoDaddy though.

                                  I searched up ipodcafe.com once and didnt buy it. It was gone VERY shortly after when I was checking names for a friend.

                                      Its happened to me before, but after 5 days the domain was back on the market. I guess they do it so that you will buy the domains from them at a higher price.

                                      Just wait it out to see if they will keep it

                                            I've heard of this but it has never happened to me with my registrar.

                                            I will check for 100 names on my registrar's who is and I can come back a week later and get those names.

                                            I think you got fucked. I refuse to use whois.sc or godaddy to search for a name to buy. I've heard your story way too much.

                                            But, if this name was related to something that just made headline news then you should expect the name to be gone within this time frame.
                                            Done.

                                                thanks so much to Mickey at AWE who helped me out. namecheap.com had the domain available and godaddy said it was taken.

                                                So no coincidence, Godaddy is on the take.

                                                that is interesting. no more godaddy, he can go fuck himself . Namecheap.com is where I'm at now.

                                                  thanks so much to Mickey at AWE who helped me out. namecheap.com had the domain available and godaddy said it was taken.

                                                  So no coincidence, Godaddy is on the take.

                                                  that is interesting. no more godaddy, he can go fuck himself . Namecheap.com is where I'm at now.
                                                  thats actually the strangest thing of all... if a domain is indeed available i would assume that it should show as such at any registrar..
                                                  ...promise her a defamation, tell her where the rain will fall..

                                                    I dont search them that way just for that reason. I use one of the expired domain companies.

                                                      It's happened to me many times. I think I have 4 separate threads on GFY alone bitching.

                                                        Godaddy tracks every domain searched. When it's been searched for twice or three times (can't remember which), they automatically kite buy it. If nobody comes back for it, they release it again.

                                                        Domain registrars kiting privately and bitching publicly about professional kiters.

                                                            YES, people do have access to that GoDaddy database and they DO register your domains if you do not take them that second.

                                                            Stop searching on GoDaddy. Use any other service and you will most likely have better luck.

                                                              Buy a WHOIS script and run it on your own server, that way the only company that sees the queries is Verisign.

                                                                        For the record, this has also happened to me a *lot* of times. I used to check for domains using a bulk checker at:

                                                                        http://uk2.net

                                                                        And after checking them available elsewhere and checking them there, they were suddenly regged. Registars have caught on to the value of domain names and some of them are registering what they consider good searches or otherwise giving that info to certain people so theyve the option to reg em.

                                                                                  I got some real good advice from a buddy of mine who worked at GoDaddy here in Scottsdale which was "Buy it when you search it, otherwise kiss it goodbye."

                                                                                  I buy everytime I search now.

                                                                                                Was the domain really good? What's the likelihood that someone else would want the domain? Who's the domain now registered to?

                                                                                                If you're implying that they registered the domain because they saw that you wanted it, its always possible but kind of a stretch. There have been instances where somebody on the inside was affiliated with a domain buyer, these insiders would track the domain purchases of other "big" domain buyers (program owners, for example) and then leak the information to the domain buyer they're affiliated with. This would only make sense in your situation if you have a history of buying "marked" domains.

                                                                                                Just my opinion anyway. I have over 700 domains with Go Daddy and have never had this happen.

                                                                                                I've got almost 9,000 domains with Go Daddy, and I'm happy with their service and their INTEGRITY!!
