Ambiguous results while searching for a domain name availability
-
Hello, Kindly forgive me if it is not the right forum to ask this question here. I have a demo reseller account on demo.myorderbox.com. This reseller account is provided by resellerclub.com When I performed search "apung.com" for a domain name availability the output was positive, i.e. it told me that apung.com is available. But doing a Who Is Lookup for the same domain name showed that the domain name is already taken. In what condition this is possible? May be I am missing some concepts of who is lookup & domain name availability. I also tried to contact the support team but got no replies. Thanks, Arun

Some registrars will put a 72hr(?) hold on any domain you do a look up to check the availability of. Ostenaciously this is to prevent it from being grabbed from under you by a cyber squatter. It has a side effect of forcing you to register through them though unless you want to wait several days. :rolleyes:

Maybe the domain expired a few days ago and the owner still have the option to recover it...dont know Try and buy it...if anything goes wrong you can always get a refund
