Yestreday i put in an order to purchase a domain (i year) which recently was expired (expired as of oct 2007). That domain showed available through aplus.net and so i made a purchase.
However, the status only changed twice from pending initial payment to pending registration and i received an email saying that they submitted my request to Global Registry.
Today i checked register.com and tried to find the same domain name and it says "domain name not available" and also checked whois which says pending deletion/renewal and the expiry date says 2008 oct.
I am confused here.
If it never expired in the first place, why did aplus.net showed the domain as available and allowed me to register?
