Looks like Duke (DNJournal) may have to write another article entitled "Elequa Makes 3-Letter Domains Disappear":

Those look like my orphans.

Wm.M. where did you get this list from?

Not sure Richard!? They're all listed at deleteddomains.com. And the status was updated only yes. (9/10) on all of them! Maybe you're right!? (Also a very large group of 3-letter .NETs are listed and one 2-letter .NET [nk.net]). Have no idea what it all means!? :undecided

Wm.M. where did you get this list from?

Deleteddomains.com ("Power Search," "exactly 2" and " exactly 3 characters long," "placed on-hold," and "in the last 60 days"!)

hmmm very strange i had a global edit for all my DNS as i forgot to update my DNS for some time now so maybe that why....i guess

Probably a glitch at Enom!! Must have sent out a signal that all of them (34 3-letter coms, 46 3-letter nets, and one 2-letter net) went into "hold" status within the last 24-hours!?

Doubtful. Perhaps a problem at DeletedDomains?

Orphans? Since you're alive, you meant those are the 'bastard children' :-D

I have done global name server edits at eNom for a large (for me) batch of names that resulted in deleting the old name servers but not adding the new ones for some of the names. Very frustrating. At least now with rapid updates it's a quick fix.

Enom global updates still don't work properly with .us domains. And .org domains require a certain type of form edits. Major pain in the arse, known to Enom since February.

 

[elequa]

yes i agree thats why i do global a edit every 45 days ..... since i transfer in/ buy / and reg big batches and i have to agree with Chatcher it seems that the previous dns global edit had deleted a few name servers by error i guess.... it is extremely frutrating

 

[clemzonguy]

What is the solution for updating .US names? I've tried numerous times and nothing seems to happen. There are some at GoDaddy that still will not update and I have had problems with .ORGs in the past with ENOM. One time I sold a domain to a person on the forum and they *itched to ENOM and they ended up messing up all of my .orgs in the process with his information except for new ones which I registered. The support staff was clueless as usual but eventually the isssue was fixed. Their shopping cart checkout stalling is the worst thing as you wait for up to 3 hours for a name to process. Now I'm not receiving emails which verify my registrations.

1. For .ORG's at ENOM make sure you fill out all the fields, putting N/A when it does not apply e.g. 2nd line of address, company name etc and +1.1234567890 format for the phone number, then select Fax and repeat the same.

2. For .US domains you might as well forget about global edits, they need to be done individually
