I met my best friend who i've known way back since primary school. immediatly after his graduation from the university in the UK 3 years ago, we met again in an ICT event in lagos and decided to go into business together.this guy have got great ideas and his parents are wealthy enough to support him with any amount he wants.he like me and trusted me so much, likewise his parents.he started sharing with me some of his ideas and possible domain names we can use.i searched for it on whogohost 2 days later someone took it.whois of it was hidden. he was so mad at me that why will i steal the domain name and lied that someone stole it. he shared another one with me again actually dis time he layed an ambush(a ridiculous domain name) i checked it on whogohost.com boooom 3 days later taken again!!!! his dad told him to stay away from me that i cant be trusted.
Now he is doing very very good with his online men and ladies blazers business. since then i moved on,
but i kept wondering who could have been responsible. until recently a company asked my company to design a casino slut machine application for them. they said we should secure a particular domain name that they've been monitoring online for the past 5years.(bingo.com.ng) i typed it on whogohost.com the next day BOOOOOOOOM taken by whogohost staff. I typed it on whogohost on tuesday they took it the next day on wednesday these week. i started recalling what had been happening with me and my friend.
i would have lost my job if that the thieves inside whogohost company had hidden the whois details of who bought the domain name.now ive searched for hundred of domain names on godaddy and hostgator but they will never do that insider stealing.my advise to Nigerians be careful when using whogohost.com cos some of their staff are thieves. they can see all the domain names people searching for. they will obviously take it before you do. when trying to check for .NG OR .COM.NG with them make sure you want to buy it immediatly after checking if its available or not.
should i go back to my friend to explain to him my mistakes of searching for domain names on whogohost.com or should i just move on with my life? am confuse.

We have not and will not register any domain name simply because someone searched for the domain on our platform. The domain name in question was registered by someone. The fact that you searched for the same domain name does not mean we had any hand in registering the domain name. You highlighted the name of a registrant. Do you have any proof that this registrant works for Whogohost? We will gain nothing in registering domains that people check for on our site. If we did that, we will probably run out of business.

If you think a domain is great, a lot of other people think so too. Don't just search for the domain anywhere. Register it. That is the only way you can keep that domain name. Otherwise, anyone else can register that domain.

If you have any inquiries about this matter or any other issue, do send a mail to support[at]whogohost.com and we will be glad to attend to the matter.
