    Dear **** *****,

    The following domain name has failed to be registered:

    ***********.COM

    Error: Add domain failed for **********.COM


    We will evaluate this error and retry the registration
    if appropriate.

    If we are unable to successfully register the domain
    name, your account will be credited accordingly. Please
    allow one business day for the refund to be processed.

    Please contact GoDaddy.com if you need any further
    assistance:
    http://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/support.asp?isc=gdbb14

    Sincerely,
    GoDaddy.com


    Has this happened to anyone? The domain is available and everything.

    And using godaddy...
    Maybe someone (I have heard of a lot of people trying to register a valid domain there and not being able to) with godaddy sees these neat domains and keeps them.
    Anyways, except for a few domains, I will not be using godaddy ever again.
    Took two days of emailing with godaddy to finally push a domain from me to a buyer.
    Now in the process of trying to get two more domains pushed.

    The bullshit godaddy makes one go through just to push domains is not worth the hassle of using them.

    I had this late last year with 50 domains at godaddy.

    Check the whois.

    If godaddy took the money from you then they have registered them to you but there software has a glitch.

    Send them a ticket and they will put them on manualy.

    Had the same problem yesterday while registering names with NameCheap. Some domains came back as "Successful" and several domains came back as "Failed".

    One of the successful ones did not show up in my account yet the whois shows that I am the registrant. The whois for the failed ones still come back as unregistered. Contacted NC and they are working on getting things straightened away.

    I'm guessing there was some glitch in "the system" yesterday so contact GoDaddy and see what they can do for you.

    Good Luck!

    I had two come up for automatic renewal at a registrar which has not been mention and got the failed message. Went in and manually reregistered. I had never seen failed message and was shocked. It is a scary feeling.

    if they have taken the money they do refund it, try registering it again it normally goes thru the second time
