Is it possible for anyone to buy a domain that I have already registered? I registered a domain through Moniker and it has not expired yet. But it is displaying available through who.is
I can not understand why it is doing that. Why does it not display as unavailable?
Now seems to me who.is server is not updated.
From Farshad Ajdar suggestion, I have just tested it through www.internic.net/whois.html

Cached Results
Most whois services online do not use real time whois information and use in fact cached results. This is because whois information rarely changes and there isn't a huge demand for real time whois services and the fact that administrators don't want the server being flooded with whois fetches on external domains. So in other words, your domain is not available and the problem here is the whois web application using old data, attempting to register the domain will display real time information and not be available.
