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

Registrar: MONIKER ONLINE SERVICES LLC
Whois Server: whois.moniker.com
Referral URL: www.moniker.com Name Server: NS1.BLUEHOST.COM
Name Server: NS2.BLUEHOST.COM

>>> Last update of whois database: Sun, 21 Sep 2014 06:11:49 UTC <<<

NOTICE: The expiration date displayed in this record is the date the
registrar's sponsorship of the domain name registration in the registry is
currently set to expire. This date does not necessarily reflect the expiration
date of the domain name registrant's agreement with the sponsoring
registrar. Users may consult the sponsoring registrar's Whois database to
view the registrar's reported date of expiration for this registration.

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.

Run whois yourself

Your better of discovering a online real time whois service or simply running the whois yourself. Below is how you can run your own whois on your domain for realtime data.


Mac & Linux: whois example.com
Windows: Technet Whois
