    i got few good names so i rushed to name.com to register :cool:

    but as expected those .coms taken and i can see those are parked :D

    but when i searched the name in other tlds (especially .in tld) those are

    also showing taken. which is not true

    ex: i tried to reg scriptpanel.com ( which was taken and even scriptpanel.in showing taken which is still not taken grab it if you want fastly )

    btw i observing this fact when .asia tld landrush closed.

    i think they messed some tlds for regging

    any body experienced the same or is it me only :confused:

    also i experienced this kind with dotster ( toplinks.in , scriptpanel.in showing taken and one link make offer which is a sedo link was showing)

    I've actually had this happen to me once. I had a .com that I wanted to reg. Tried to reg it with Name.com but it said it was taken. Went to other registrars & it was showing it was available!

    I have no idea why that happened but it was very frustrating.

    chandan123,

    I'm glad to hear that this particular issue is no longer happening for you. It is something that happens on occasion. When the registry doesn't respond our system shows the name as "taken". Unfortunately it's happening more than we're comfortable with. We're working on a fix and hope to have that rolled out in April. Thanks for your patience.
