It was a funny thing. The .Biz domain sat in the pending area waiting for a registry response, and then Chuck forced it through .Biz and they denied it. Then I re-registered it and it was approved and registered immediately with no delay. I don't think half of the TLD operators that make their system know what they are doing ;) Not like I do either ;)
As far as propagations go, they have been in 24 hours or less for us for a few weeks. (Just registration being held and not immediately registered that are getting under our skin ;)
O well. We finally got the domain, that's the important thing. I just get "Stuck In The Middle" when this stuff happens and we feel like idiots because we don't have an answer. ;) Truth is, the domain should have never been waiting for registry approval but as chuck said the .Biz guys have a lot of problems right now. It appears that their registry is running off of a Commodore 64 with a 5 meg hard drive ;) (HAHA - Those were the good old days....)
Have a great day!

Subject: Re: Pending Reg. Response Again....
I actually registered a .biz 2 days ago, or so, and it was propagated the next day. Works just like a .com, or any other! :)
I too would be pretty upset if after that kind of speed, I was hit with a legthy delay. Kinda strange that it takes long at times.
Must have a MIND of it's OWN! :)
Thanks
Richard.

Charles......
I guess I am just spoiled with all the other "immediate" registrations. I have a client that wants to know why he can't use his names yet as they know most are accessible in 1-3 days but still many .biz domains take a week sometimes. ;) Any ideas when .biz registrations will flow more smoothly?

What's the domain name?
You can always lookup the order at http://resellers.opensrs.net, and at the bottom is a "Check Transfer Status" button that finishes the order (if it's completed at the registry) within 15 minutes.
Note that our transfer script only runs once per day - if this domain went to the registry on the 28th, it's JUST near the 5 day mark - it's possible that the domain has transfered, and will resolve tonight (remember that Feb only has 28 days...)
