I have recently registered a new .name
domain. It is just myfirstname.name
, something like nanda.name
.
My debit card has been billed, but my domain control panel doesn't show any information regarding the new domain.
I have raised a ticket with their support and there is no response yet. It's been 3 days.
I checked some other registrars and almost all of them say that nanda.name
is taken, but when I search whois either from my command line or the numerous whois web services, I get No match
as answer each time.
What gives?
PS : I should add that this registrar's support is known to suck, which, by the time I found, is a bit late.
