Update: I had a bunch of .biz orders in pending today in the RWI. I put them all through, and received a domain taken error on two domains, which remained in pending. I then put those two through again and they were successfully registered. I will forward the details of both orders to reseller support.

That is, it was available for the lookup, but then problems occur at the final registration - you are then given an error message (wrongly I think) of domain taken - happened to me a couple of times as well with the ability to actually complete the registration later (even though it was supposedly taken) cheers Jim Carey www.OZbcoz.com discount domain registration www.iluvoz.com affordable hosting services > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of JS Schiller > Sent: Saturday, 29 December 2001 3:44 AM > To: 'ST'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: biz and info Domain Taken error message > > > I've also had a number of domain names say "taken" for awhile, then > later 'become' available.
