    somebody might just have bought it and it takes a while for all registrars to synchronize. have seen it happen before

      Sometimes there's a lag in databases getting updated. If any of them let you register it, it's available

              Register.com was where I usually registered .country extensions, though haven't checked into them for years.

                  Godaddy is pure crap, and stories keep popping up about them.
                  Directnic is the only place I trust with my domains, pay a few extra bucks and sleep better at nite.

                        That scares me - I have 27 domains listed with them... been using them for years with no problem.
                        Hope this isn't a mistake on my part!!

                          hey jenn, you might wanna try registering with directnic.com... i think they're a bit more expensive than godaddy.com, but you won't run into problems in the future

                                    I have never had a problem with them, only problem is you cannot manage all domains at once. You have to manage each domain by itself.

                                    I use them and also Enom for $8.50/yr
