JV.net Still Shows Available to Register but is Actually Reserved

Posted on the 04 May 2015 by Worldwide @thedomains

The domain name JV.net shows available when you do a whois look up, but when you go to register it the domain is not available. The domain dropped in 2013. The domain looks to have been owned by JVM out of Korea. These 1 and 2 charater .net names got reserved in 2005 and in 2010 Verisign wanted to auction them off, they later decided against that plan.

Usually when a domain is reserved the whois shows that IANA has reserved the domain like with the following R.net:

Registrant Org Internet Assigned Numbers Authority is associated with ~141 other domains   

Registrar RESERVED-INTERNET ASSIGNED NUMBERS AUTHORITY

Registrar Status serverDeleteProhibited, serverTransferProhibited, serverUpdateProhibited

Dates Created on 1993-12-01 – Expires on 2015-12-08 – Updated on 2014-12-09   

Domain Status Registered And No Website

Whois History 172 records have been archived since 2003-08-11   

Registrar History 1 registrar   

Hosting History 5 changes on 2 unique name servers over 9 years   

Whois Server whois.iana.org

It looks like JV.net must just be a glitch in the mechanism of showing reserved status in the whois records.
