.co.uk registrations are not real-time - the Nominet registry works with Email templates, so our system is asynchronous. We send the email registration request, and have to wait for a response. If you get the domain, we keep the $13, if the domain wasn't registered (for whatever reason, we supply that if that's the case) we return the $13
We find that the Nominet "automaton" (email system) returns requests (registrations, nameserver and contact information updates) anywhere from 5 minutes to several hours (you know how email can be sometime), hence the "Registration in Progress". Notification is sent if this fails for whatever reason.
