Are all Domain Registrars registering the domain realtime ??. Do All of them connect to the SRS (Shared Registry System ) realtime ??.
I know enom does it realtime.. any idea about others ?

Yes, they all register them in real-time. They may not do the initial check with the EPP or SRS protocol. But when you part with your money at the end of the process they will do this.

.NAME, .INFO and .US at least are not real time. .NAME has a several week delay, and .INFO and .US seem to be a day or so.

Richard,
How can a registry not be real-time?

Yes Lisa,
Richard is right, a friend of mine registed one domain via register.com and it was registered after 2 days , but's that's almost 2yrs back. at that time only opensrs was there to compete with register.com and netsol ,
shared registry was not updated realtime.
i dont know the status now !! but hope its improved , so i wanted to know views of all those who have personally registered the domains throught the registrars.

It's really annoying, but these new domains are not real time by any means. .NAME seems to be the worst at two weeks (even for a name server change)! .us and .info seem to be around a day. Ugh.

One of the largest cc registries in the World is Nominet in the UK. Unfortunately we are still living in the dark ages having to endure an asynchronous registry.

There is a strange beast residing deep in the bowels of Nominet's headquarters in Oxford going by the name of "The Automaton". This curious creature devours PGP signed emails from Nominet member tag holders hoping to register their .xx.uk domain names on behalf of anxious clients.

When it deigns to accept the Member's request it fires back another email saying whether it has registered the domain or not. Usually this happens within minutes but I have waited up to 6 hours in one case for the beast to reply to me.

Come on Nominet, bring on realtime registrations!

only 6 hours? i'm sure i've had to wait much longer than that at times. the sooner the automaton is replaced, the better.
