Powerpipe

Hey,

How come when i search a domain at poerpipe.com it says it is available but then i click it it says unavailable? It keeps getting my hopes up!

Happens a lot with other registrars to. NetSol has this problem the most I think.

They check whois output first.
If whois output is empty - they tell "available" and try to check real availability on registry level.

Now the worst thing. If the domain is already dropped, actually available - but still shows at whois - you would NOT be able to register it at powerpipe!
