Registering domain

[fuzzy]

I was just nosing around on whois.sc, looking up a domain name to register for someone, and decided to look up my name -- for which I've already registered the .org. According to whois.sc, the .com is "Registered - no website"; however, I also looked it up on Godaddy, and they say it is Available! Does anyone have any past experience with this?

Also, FYI, GD has a sale on .com's for $8.99 a year right now.

Hi Mark

I've seen this before, if you punch a domain name into a registras "check the name" box and they cant auto connect to the whois database you may get a false - is free - result, always try to go direct to the registration body for a double check, or even another source.

Well, I got my domain name, and the other one I needed to register! GD upped their "sale price" to $9.99 , so I ended up with another registrar for $7.99.

Now, my next question, do I redirect them using 301 or 302? I'm going to direct the domains to subdomains on Fuzzy World 3, for the time being anyways.

You need to do 301 redirections.

While registering the domains, these sort of things does happen usually. Yahoo domain registering and even Godaddy are not exceptions.
