Checking for available domain name = giving it away?
mahesh2k:
instantdomainsearch.com - is one bad site that does this regularly. For example, i'm in process to release short story website so i searched 'storystack.com' and in next 2 hours it was registered by someone. >:( Don't tell me a site name which i was checking for last 6 month got registered in 2 hours ? Even my friend confirmed it when he wanted to register a domain with android name in it.
nosh:
I've searched for two separate domain names using network solutions and instantdomainsearch... let's wait and see.
nudone:
Pretty sure I've had this done to a couple of my searches; can't remember what service I was using though.
Now, I'll just try the domain in the address bar to see if anything comes up, then move on to checking with Godaddy.
Ath:
I check 'em directly at the local TLD registrar site, as they offer a 'who owns this domain' service. Never failed, and never got an unregistered domain grabbed right before my eyes.

The Danish registrar DK HostMaster doesn't do this, and allows you to search their domains directly.
