I have acquired the domain name f.uk and its showing in my GoDaddy account but its still showing as available. I talked to GoDaddy and they told that this domain is registered with your account. I have no idea Whats going on?
Is it possible to sell this domain name?
Thanks

      I'm pretty sure he needs to talk with Nominet - The Official Registry for UK Domain Names and I don't think he's going to like what they have to say.

      Somethings tells me that this person is not going to be a happy Godaddy customer after this.

      Could be wrong.

      But I'm pretty sure it's on the reserved list.

      Because .uk has only recently become available, there's a grace period that holds any .uk version of a .co.uk domain is reserved until 2019 for the current .co.uk holder.
      They're not, it's an issue with Godaddy.

        Actually one letter UK domains are available - I checked on the Nominet site and f.co.uk is owned by a Cayman Islands company.

        They'll have first refusal on f.uk until 2019.

        Nominet changed the rules a few years ago and auctioned off the one and two letter domains for an average of £39,000 (about $55,000 at current exhchange rates) - I'm glad they're a not-for-profit otherwise who knows how much they would have raised

          I figured that out after my response, but the OP wasn't one of those people and nobody is going to let a 1 letter domain drop, ever... Even if they did, records would show that.. So yeah, there's definitely some kind of problem with Godaddy

          Domain name: f.uk Right of registration: f.co.uk WHOIS lookup made at 07:19:03 21-Apr-2016

    Maybe you should wait 24 hours to see if it went through OK.

    Best thing to do is to ask Godaddy.

    Have you pointed the domain to a NameServer, yet?

    You're probably going to lose it, there's some rules with the .uk domains that I doubt you're following.

    I think it's just a matter of waiting for the whois system to be updated. Happened to me once. The update should usually happen within 24 to 48 hours after purchase.
