Hmm. When I start a new domain request with Globat for the $1.95, it says
"Add DomainPrivacyGuard to your domain name registration for only $7.95/year."
(which is not the same as locking the domain)
Not sure I trust emailing them afterwards to try to get it free.
But I also see I can't transfer for the $1.95, it's only for new registrations.

Again, there are two things to change on the 1st registration form page... you need to select the radio button that says no thanks and you need to uncheck the privacy guard thing... THEN your reg will be only $1.95!!!

yahoo's support sucks, if you register a name that needs an authorization code to transfer (.org, .info, .us, etc), yahoo will not provide it, they will tell you to cancel the service, they will release the domain to Melbourne IT, and you'll have to ask Melbourne IT the code. It will no be an easy task.

I have been through this process which took about 2 weeks. It did work and was able to transfer domain away. Patience required.

After "registering", y loged in their 'dcc', and all contacts are blank, i went to opensrs.net website, and theis whois says the domain is unregistered, 24h later, domain is still unregistered, and i have a pending ticket on it, still waiting for an answer, i'll tell you when it's resolved. (i will not wait much more to register the domain elsewhere)

Well, I'm currently trying globat.com and:

My first domain was registered after a couple of hours, but my second domain doesn't.

It's what has happened to you, elmister: the domain is NOT registered. You have to wait 24-48h. to see it registered. It's like globat works. It should be a reseller and they create your domains manually, that's what they take too long.

However, the price is incredible.

Finally, after 48h, the domain is registered, but i'm still waiting for an answer for my ticket

The first domains that i registered were registered just when i bought them, after every registration i logged in and changed the contacts, as they put the billing information there and i wanted to change some data.

As I said, it's like globat works. I bought a domain two days ago, but they registerd later so I'll have to wait 24 hours until I could bregister more domains.

I've tried to register another domain at globat.com, and now i'm getting this message.

Our records indicate that you have exceeded the purchase amount for domain registrations.
Please contact our Sales Department at 877-245-5228, option 2 for more information.

I've only registered 8 domains before, it seems they want to limit loses
