On: .ga domain names soon to return to Gabonese manage...

They destroyed. Faster go to gandi.net and register your domain ($25). Recover dns records, then switch over to another domain in good zone.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've tried that, but the purchase is stuck at "Creation in progress". It wouldn't surprise me if new creations are being blocked while the new TLD registry is being setup.

Nope, it worked: https://asti.ga . Thanks for the suggestion @afnic_shitass (username checks out).

My ga. domains squatted by Safe Names. Lets check their privileges...

[Dedus → afnic_shitass]

My domain has also moved to safenames according to Whois information, but I cannot register on the safenames website. Error "Update Unsuccessful Please fix the missing or invalid Data". All data is filled in

Cool story: the whois server for ga zone is not pointed in whole internet (iana empty records: https://www.iana.org/domains/root/db/ga.html). Old working web-whois: https://whois.freenom.com/cgi-bin/whois?domainname=nic.ga&lo... Old canonical from whois utility: https://github.com/rfc1036/whois/commit/57a51c9fdb4d310e8deb...

So I just guessed it: whois.nic.ga (web&whois protocol)

Did you check whois via something like domaintools? I've got same error.

whois domaintools info of my domain: Registrar SAFENAMES LTD IANA ID: — URL: — Whois Server: —

I changed the DNS in my freenom account and it worked. My domain is up and running. It looks like the paid domains have transferred to SAFENAMES
