And The Problem With This ‘Banned’ Domain Is?

While I know I don’t normally ‘work’ at the weekends, I felt that I wanted to get a few little things complete so that I could start my week on a high. Well what I’m about to say, may have just dampened my spirits!

Shall I begin?!…

I never thought I would see the day were I go to register a domain name and find that it has been BANNED! Well guess what happened over at NameCheap today? Today was that very day, and to put it in a polite way, I’m not best pleased!

Just take a look at the screenshot below that I took, as some proof and just in case anyone told me that it was not a banned domain.

From the image, you can see that all I was trying to do was register MarkMcWilliamsNewsletter.com and for some bizarre reason it tells me the domain is available, but when you reach the checkout, all I receive is that.

(A trip to NameCheap support is in order I think!…)

Ever since I got started online, I have used NameCheap for all my domains and this is the first problem I’ve ever had! While I should have contacted their support first, I just wanted to make this quick post for you! HEHE

This 5 minute job is probably going to turn into a couple of days, and means that I’ll have to drop the odd job and make this my priority. There is NOTHING stopping me from using http://www.mark-mcwilliams.com/newsletter/ for example, but I personally think the other looks a lot more professional, and cleaner.

I’ll definitely make sure to post the outcome of this, and if there does happen to be a valid reason WHY this domain has been banned, then you’ll find out for sure!

In a way, I am kinda shocked at the whole event! Any comments and/or suggestions you have will be much appreciated, just use the comments box below.

This could quite possibly turn into a very educational blog post! So keep your eyes peeled!…
