Hi everyone,
I'm struggling to buy a 4 letters word domain (tld included) and finally, I found that enom.com is selling plenty of short name domains, however, this works in a weird way. I opened firefox and chrome in the same time. From one, I enter the name domain I want, said it's not available and suggest me another one just perfect because, it means something (I won't tell because 4 letters are so hard to get), but if I enter the suggestion in the other browser, it said it's not available!!! I check many and it's always the same weird behavior. Now, I purchase my domain but in the end, when all my details where collected, it said that the transaction where cancelled because the name domain wasn't available...
Should I worry to have my card used later on or this is just bad luck?
Only - just bad luck. you can find 4 letter domain at ebay[dot]com/sch/i[dot]html?_nkw=4+letter+domain
You want to buy the domain name first need to choose reputable companies that or may ask close friends introduce to avoid being scammed lose money.
enom is legit, it is the same owner as name.com
To check whether a site is legit usually, I do follow a simple checklist to see how well they do.
1) Use WhoisXY.com (http://www.whoisxy.com/t3resultpage.aspx?type=domain&q=enom.com&rid=449343) to check the whois information and check whether the contact information matches with the one in the website.
2) In the domain contact details, is there a valid email address.
3) Is there a valid phone number visible, and does it work ?
4) Go through review about them using Webutations.net (http://www.webutation.net/go/review/enom.com) and check whether they are scam free.
I checked in for the site (http://www.enom.com/) that you have specified and found that even though they have a formatted phone number and email address their contact details wasn't that satisfactory...they have a third party email domain (gmail) which many business owners do not opt for...they tend to have their own domain name..and also reviews are very bad about them.
