I was emailing godaddy staff about an issue and I mentioned that im going to register optimizationservice.com Few hours later the domain name was registered and godaddy was showing in the whois as the registrar. Anyway, there was nothing I can do about it, and it was my mistake in the first place to include such information, in an email to a total stranger !

We had recently registered our domain on their site and with proof of purchase and a receipt later, we realized the domain has been sold to someone else half a day after our official purchase! I would recommend many other domain providers, but that seem like i'm endorsing them, i merely conclude to beware when dealing with this India based IT institution. Last word of advice, if they realize the worth of a domain after you have purchased it, they will revoke their claim and purchase it themselves, so that they can later resell it.
