They were other .biz sites. It could have been a coincidence. I ltried again after scanning my computer and I was able to register.
I think that might be because he also has the E-liquidwest.com (for Dwolla only payments) and Eliquidwest.com (for wholsale purchasing) and registration is probably linked between the 3 sites. I'll ask Steve to clarify this but I feel sure it's probably the reason.
