Trouble registering and renewing domains can be frustrating

It is very very frustrating to have a planned out website and not be able to get the domain name you want to register registered. I'm not sure just what the SNAFU is, but I'm having difficulty getting my domain name registered. I plan to give it a few hours for the kinks to get worked out of the system and then try again. What's even more frustrating is those same kinks are preventing me from renewing a domain name that I have that needs renewing. Thankfully I renew my domains well ahead of when they are due for renewal, so I have plenty of time to wait for the kinks to unkink themselves.
