Does it safety to search for a new domain?

    2 days ago I was searching for a good quality domain name on Ipower, today I came to register the domain and found out that the domain is taken this morning.

    Did it happen to you 2?

    This happens to a lot of people, once you find a really good domain you should be ready to register it right away.

    Who picked it up?
    If it's Kenyatech or Chesterton Holdings, they might just be
    "domain tasting." Same thing happened to me recently.
    They picked up something I'd searched for, and then dropped it
    a week or so later. Check back in 10 days or so, and it may become
    available again.

    I do not think so...the WhoIs for this domain show register to 08/23/07

    and I really hope you're right!but seems that I can forget about it.
