There is quite a bit of competition for domain names.
According to WorldNic, 5 million domains were registered in first quarter of this year. A quick bit of math reveals that:

* 1,667,000 domain names are registered a month
* 55,500 domain names are registered a day
* 2,300 domain names are registered an hour

In the time it may take to read this page, about a minute, 38 domain names will be registered; possibly one that may have been of interest to you.

Clicking on the Shared Registry icon will open a new browser window and allow you to verify your chosen domain name. If the results say "No Match Found" then your chosen name is available. You can close that registry window to return here to order your new domains.
