Hostess closed for the holidays?

johno69 · #1 29-12-09, 12:14 PM

I tried to register a domain yesterday.. or may have been the night before (time gets away from me) via hostess, and still have no response.

Are they closed for the christmas break?

I normally get a speedy registration notice etc.

But still nothing

If it`s true, it`s ridicolous!!!

I have never registered (yet) a .com.au so I can`t tell but I assumed it was immediate.

Hopefully someone else can bring more experience with Hostess.....because I`m about to start registering...

No it's not instant.

I got my emails 30 mins after posting. All good now, but was a bit worried about missing out with the delay.

Reg'd one with them today...took about 10-15 mins to get the confirmation emails.

I'm guessing they were closed yesterday and had a backlog this morning.

Was just a painful wait.

I guess they don't open sundays either.

I tried to register 2 domains with them about 1am this morning.

The order has gone through but I have no registration documentation.

I tried again to register the same domains but get the following error:

"There is already an outstanding domain registration application for ***.com.au. You cannot submit another application until the outstanding one has been processed."

I'd hate to miss out.

Hi Johno,

For some reason, when you register multiple domains with Hostess, they don't always send through confirmation emails for every domain.

So I always print off my confirmation once the order has been processed - just in case.

To give you peace of mind, all you have to do is log into your account; click on "View notifications" , and then resend the emails.

Hope that helps.

Cheers, Ned

I always do one at a time. But a few times for multiple domains.

And when I try to register them again they are showing as available. They are not showing in my account as being registered, so currently there are no emails to resend.

They just didn't get around to them by the looks of it.

When I mentioned the order has gone through, I meant to their end. Not as in completed.

That's weird!

So when you go through and complete an order, do you get a confirmation page that says:

" Thank you

Your domain registration application has been submitted successfully. Print out this page as a reference for your order confirmation."

I have regged 3 this afternoon without hassle.

Yes that's what I got last night.. (1am).

Now if I try to do it I get a system error that says "There is already an outstanding domain registration application for ***.com.au. You cannot submit another application until the outstanding one has been processed."

So I can't even "try again" unless I go to another registrar.
