I got this from godaddy today:

Dear XXX,

The following domain name has failed to be registered:

BUI.ME

Error: BUI.ME: cannot register - already registered

We will evaluate this error and retry the registration
if appropriate.

If we are unable to successfully register the domain
name, your account will be credited accordingly. Please
allow one business day for the refund to be processed.


First the let it go through, now they are saying it didn't...................................

Are you kidding?

yes he is kidding....

and for the prices that i saw those domains aint gonna go very quick. €50 per year for registration. ill pass.

Bought some premium one's right after they opened for registration yesterday morning. They were available, paid for, and got my receipt from godaddy.com . I kept checking the whois data at domain.me to see if my info was updated, and continued to get "Not Found". A domainer suggested I go to the .me auction site to see if they were already preregistered and part of the landslide auctions. They were no where to be found on the auction site with the preregistered domains. Later that day I got an email as someone posted above saying all my domain registrations failed. The whois data for those domains still shows "Not Found", but the domains have mysteriously showed up on godaddys .me auction site. The ones that were preregistered landslide domains seem to show whois data.

Seems a little shady being godaddy are the ones behind domain.me . Maybe a cash grab at it's finest. Start a new extension, keep the best ones that are preregistered to auction off later to the highest bidder. Then open up on the 17th saying "first come, first serve". Then when more premium domains are openly registered they keep those too, and tell the buyer the registration failed. All while collecting everyones money.

Anyway, that's my take on how things unfolded yesterday. Hopefully I'm wrong about something here and godaddy hasn't pulled off something this bad.

When talking to godaddy support on the phone about this I got a lot of "uhh I can't comment on that" and "we'll be refunding your money". Thanks!

Something also strange was the people using outside registers like dynabot.com got their domains right away.

Either way I think I'm done with godaddy after this.

you are registering them and have a chance of getting them, if other ppl registered them than they go into auction, which is soon.

doesn't ICANN get $.10 per domain registered? Just look and see when they got their royalty for the .ME domains you tried to reg. It will probably show them paid before the land rush opened; by an internal GoDaddy account, which means, GoDaddy would go out of business with all of the domaineer anti-trust lawsuits that would follow.

They have already been caught bidding against their customers for expired domains... didn't they?

Maybe this time, Bob Parsons jumped his own shark?

I got a couple with Moniker. Pretty good ones too!

well i agree with you...you saw the email they sent me........
