    I went to their site http://www.domainsbot.com & found some available .com & .us domains I wanted to register. Then I went to GoDaddy to register, but it said they were taken! Then I went to NameCheap, 1&1, Register.com & also unavailable! Checked those names again on DomainBot but said they were available. What's the deal here?

    Godaddy Says Correct because its a major registrar.... Also you can check the domain on whois.com if its available then whois show u that its available.

    Thanks!

    I have a suggestion: don't always rely completely on free services that aren't
    authoritative. You're potentially and needlessly frustrating yourself.

    You have other options. Use them.

    Godaddy until recently was accused using your domain queries to taste the domain first
    I generally avoid godaddy at all costs. I prefer smaller registrars

    Apart from that a bulk search with a registrar is better (for example the bulk option of domainsite.com)

    I have just recently stopped using Godaddy because of this aspect.
