i think godaddy is registering the good domains you search..

i don't know. but i think that may be their bulk registration page is buggy and say that some registered domains are free or they are really stealing the searched good domains. as i search for domains in the bulk it is free then i try to register it they say that it is already taken...
i noticed that this happen mainly with the recently expired and extremely good domains... i don't know

 

they used to this before but after some PR stuffs they stopped. its not a big news because GD , networksolutions etc registrars were/are doing that

 

All the big companies register the good ones before they're all taken. I was registering couple of domains with flu.mx and I was charged. Then in few mins I got an e-mail saying my money was credited because the domain wasn't available.
It's registered with GoDaddy also. Was registered on the same day.
http://whois.domaintools.com/flu.mx
It could be GoDaddy or another customer since it was a good domain.

 

that must be preorder because .mx released on that month to public it probably a preorder.

 

That's true and counting since there are several other big registrars hijacking domain searches.

 

oh nooooooooooooo you will never believe the domain i wasted today..... i won't say it now because may be they will release it after the parking 5 days they have but i can tell you 4 litters with 600.000 exact searches. i really wanna break something specially that my wife is telling me that it is enough with this computer staff and concentrate in you work..... i was about to make it but the ---- godaddy will make me quit poor me

 

ah capitalism at its best

 

Search with central registry first. If you know the domain that is worth buying for making a profit, immediately register it without waiting.

 

I don't believe that. If this is true and someone has proof, nobody will trust Godaddy anymore

 

Grrrrrrrrrrrr! Pity on Godaddy for stealing other's ideas.
Fortunately I have been using Name.com right from the beginning.No problems so far.

 

so far so good with namecheap, limedomains, and yahoo domains
I cant believe if thats true, hijacking I mean.

 

o dont know may be their bulk domain reg page is buggy.they have to fix it to conserve their reputation

 

True, I used to search from this or www.whois.com then go to register my domains without hassle.

Actually using a nice freeware to query faster, LanWhois

 

makes good business sense for them wouldn't you say?

 

Well, what's worse is when they used to do this and THEN put the domain up as a premium domain for thousands of dollars. That's the ultimate scumbag tactic.

 

Many companies are known to do such front running but if you show promptness in registering immediately, I guess you do not give them the leeway!

With good names, it can also be just coincidental that a person from somewhere around the world would have registered while you were searching and contemplating registering.
After all, there would be many people doing the registration just like you... simultaneously!

I do not think it's true - I bought very good domains with PR6 & 7 through GD
