i was checking some .nu domains on NameCheap and came across one 4-letter domain i like. but i wanted to find cheaper alternatives, so i looked around, did some google searches but couldn't find any cheaper solutions. about 10-15 minutes later i returned to namecheap, only to find that the domain i wanted was gone! it said "UNAVAILABLE". this domain name is a very common word (500 mil google results) so i suspected someone monitored my internet connection and then snatched the domain. but AFAIK this only happens with .com/.net/other popular TLD. so... since i could not register with namecheap, i went to godaddy. it said the domain name is available. so i registered, paid, and luckily i have now secured the domain name. the strange things is, at first namecheap said the name was available. but 10-15 minutes later it said the name was unavailable, although i was able to secure the name through godaddy. has anyone encountered the same issue? any thoughts or theories regarding this matter?
I faced it today. I added some domains to the cart and when I tried to search for the domain that already was in the cart (I forgot that I added it) it was unavailable.
