Godaddy
Com Godaddy My domain name was taken after doing a domain name search at their website. It showed available but when I returned later to purchase it showed registered to Godaddy

I am a customer of godaddy, i have several domain names registered with them. I cant remember if I was logged in at the time of the incident but I used the domain name search engine at Godaddy.com when the domainname.com I chose showed available. I was excited to know it was not taken.

I went home after work that day to discuss the website venture with my wife and we agreed to it. When I got online and returned to purchase the name it was taken. I was so disappointed so I did a Whois search to see who had gained the domain name and it was showing registered to Godaddy.

I went to the website I was trying to obtain to see it and it was parked by godaddy. They have a doamin name auction service that lists high appraised domain names for sale. So if you really want a domain name you will have to pay to obtain it.

I feel that godaddy is monitoring the domain name search and using the data entry history to market your domain search ideas at a higher price. Do not search your domain name their website unless you are going to secure it immediately. Use an outside Whois search that does not sell domains.
