Richie Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Anybody else know whats mean to go into "whoisservers.php" as its not working for us either, just says unavailable for everything, even garbage names like ghgobfobndbndn.me and gives "There was an error in your request" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harrip Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 whois.nic.me is not accepting connections on port 43 so can not be used. ".me|whois.meregistry.net|NOT FOUND" has been recommended to me, but it is providing some strange results and welcome others views on this. For instance, doing a search on the WHOIS at http://www.domain.me/ for a popular name e.g. Peter - may come up as NOT FOUND - and therefore available, but according to ENOM's whois, its not available. I'm wondering if these popular names are going through the auction process but not reflected in the WHOIS? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben-iNetFx Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 That is correct - only active .me domains will show up on the WHOIS. If you want to check if a domain is really available, you also need to check http://auctions.domain.me and see if it's listed there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
othellotech Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 the .me|whois.nic.me|NOT FOUND should work, and certainly did earlier in the week, but now the me registry are denying the whois lookups currently to do registrations you are having to go to their website which will tel you if its taken, a premium domain they'll be auctioning, or a general "NOT FOUND" which you can then order 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjs32 Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Hi, I am trying to add the option to add the newly realeased .ME domain extension - however i am unable to get the whois correct within the whoisservers.php file,i am using: .me|http://domain.me/index.php?page=4&whois_name=|HTTPREQUEST-not found but it is not working,as when you do a search for a registered .me domain it shows as available when it isnt - what am i doing wrong? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHMCS CEO Matt Posted July 19, 2008 WHMCS CEO Share Posted July 19, 2008 I've found the following to be working for those who are still having problems: .me|whois.meregistry.net|NOT FOUND Matt 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netmotiv8 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I have just had customers place orders for .me domains which through WHMCS are showing as available to register yet, when I process them through eNom the domains are already registered. I am using .me|whois.meregistry.net|NOT FOUND in the whoisservers.php file Anyone else getting the same issue? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnerty Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Yes, me too.. And if you look at domain.me you will find those domains as free. Strange. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netmotiv8 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I just looked at http://www.eurodns.com and they appear to show the domains in question as taken, so I wonder what whoisservers are they looking at? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Here's something really lame, We have had a ton of problems with premium names where the names show as available at domains.me, also, the whois lookup shows them as available, but enom cant register them. All other run of the mill names have registered perfectly well, without any problems, just not premium names. I rang enom to ask them what WHOIS lookup server are they using because their lookup's are far more accurate, but even they didnt know!!!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnerty Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I tried to register relax.me, aweso.me, shop4.me domain (free at domain.me), at webhero.com, goddady.com but domains are unavailable .. So Enom is not the only one. At moniker.com that domains are free. (?!) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnerty Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 The domains are unavailable at moniker too, now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netmotiv8 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 All other run of the mill names have registered perfectly well, without any problems, just not premium names. Ah yes, premium domains, that would explain why clients have thought they have been able to order kate.me, tom.me and aweso.me etc yet when we come to actually register these domains for them they are available. Premium domain situ sucks, throws a right spanner in the works. Whilst I haven't called eNom, i have sent them a support ticket asking the whois servers they recommend using, so I await their reply. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netmotiv8 Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Hi Enom haven't been particularly helpful and missed the point I think: #### Hello, http://www.enom.com/whois/whois.aspx That is what we use. #### 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netmotiv8 Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 What are people doing with this, are you just letting customers order the domains and then refund if not available? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
othellotech Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 What are people doing with this, are you just letting customers order the domains and then refund if not available? Thats all we can do at the moment. And AFAICT all 2 char or less .me's are not available and all 3 char are either reserved or gone - so *really* need a feature in WHMCS to be able to specify the shortest length to accept for a domain - keep getting people trying to to na.me etc 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnerty Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I stoped to sell .me domains yesterday.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
