Some of the domain registration websites don't allow you to do all of that.  But if yours does, there will probably be an option for advanced editing somewhere in your account screen, try that.  It should have a FAQ also.

"Your choice: Put your domain up for sale at its own address or tell the world your site's "coming soon"\n\nSince they register domain names, presumably you can "store" a domain on their servers  until you have the website completed and ready to upload to a host you have leased space from, or, until you sell it  - which they will apparently allow you to use the parked domain as a "domain for sale" site as they say "Put your domain up for sale at its own address".

A very good site. Looks cool. If you want to get a full domain name, and keep your old site, check out www.dot.tk, they will give you a full domain name, with a Javascrit redirect link. Check it out!

Go to a domain registry site like "Domain Direct" do a search, and see what's available to register.

www is a subdomain name. You only need to purchase the domain name, then you can add subdomains as many as you want.

You can go to any domain registrar and check for the availability of a domain.  If the domain is not available, most will offer suggestions of alternative options.  Network Solutions is good but very expensive for registration.  You can find cheaper domain registration through:\n\nGoDaddy - http://www.godaddy.com\nYahoo (limited to certain domain suffixes) - http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/domains/

You have to find a "Who Is" list on godaddy, etc. and try to purchase it from the current owner. Unfortunately, there are so many domain pirates out there.

Your experience is very common. But without further details no one can say whether there's "foul suspected".\n\nOnly ICANN-accredited domain registrars can truly register domain names. But they form reseller partnerships with other companies to expand their services, especially hosting providers.\n\nUnfortunately not all resellers register a domain name in real time. Some actually put orders on queue and forward them to their registrar partner to register...if they're available.\n\nA lot can happen within a few minutes, especially if multiple parties are trying to register for the same name at the same time.\n\nBut to answer your question, no. Not yet, anyway.\n\nOn the other hand, there's another practice called "domain kiting" or domain tasting that's been going on. Essentially some parties register a domain name that's been "looked up", taste whatever traffic or see if anyone's interested in it, then either let it go within 120 hours (5 days) or keep it.\n\nIf what I explained above indeed occurred, don't contact the current registrant of the domain name and don't look it up on your browser. Give it about 120 hours (5 days) from its initial creation date.\n\nWith luck, it might become available by then. If it is, be sure to register it with a REAL domain registrar like Go Daddy, Domainsite, etc.\n\nBut again, without further details (like the domain name's WHOIS record minus the name), it's hard to say what possibly occurred. It could be coincidental for all we know.\n\nGood luck and good hunting.

There are thousands of providers that will be more then happy to register a domain for you for a fee. They same  companies will also tell you the name you want for your domain is already taken, will suggest alternatives or will bid for a name for you. All of this happens on the web i.e. you don't have to call anybody.\nFor example, you can just go to www.register.com and type in the name you want to get. From there, just follow the prompts ...

try reporting it to ICANN i guess. or do a domain name whois from a site like godaddy.com then see who the registrar is and contact the company that registered the domain name.

Check out GoDaddy.com\n\nYou can also check out some options for hosting w/ domain name included. They'll cost a bit more, but you might find a bargain.
