registering a domain problem
 

ok i have a domain and on whois.sc it says aval.. so i goto godaddy to register it and it says it isnt, yet i can register it right from whois.sc any ideas?

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:)

up to 48 hours

ok say i register it right now, what if someone has purchased it and it just hasnt updated.. any ideas?

also any other good places i can reg then aside from godaddy

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

Cheers,
Matt

yeah right, register it somewhere else.. and damn, don't register it with GODADDY !! They are so fuckin' expensive!!

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.

havent found another place for 7.99 or whatever yet though :P

:eek7

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 :)

yeah i think i will :) 1 of the other domains i was about to take is now gone lol BASTARDS :P

what's their customer service like?

You can use http://networkresources.com

It's $17.95 for one year.

Has optional Secure Whois to keep your name and address off of whois searches. also offers Domain Lock for added protection.

Easy to use control panel.

Plus I will give you all the help you need with it. Yep it cost more, but hey, it's run by an adult webmaster!!!!! Me.

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

Excuse the spam - all domains in one control panel - http://networkresources.com

Am I blind, I dont see any prices listed on this site?

hey jen try registerfly.com not to bad of people offer lots of specials and sometimes have it so you can do private regs for 99 cent extra :) ive got a few of my domains with them and gradually moving all my domains from godaddy to registerfly
