Domain Name Already Registered With Us

Hello everyone in MSOL.

I have a serious problem with redirecting a domain. I have 'www.kuboworks.com' domain name and I redirected it as a test to OL with the option "Web site only". Then I deleted 'www.kuboworks.com' from the domain list in Domain Manager. Now I want to redirect it again with "Bring e-mail addresses associated with domain" option. But when I click on the "Confirm" button an error appears. "Domain Name Already Registered With Us".

I read a previous thread on this issue and found out there is currently no way. So i'm asking "how to use 'www.kuboworks.com' with the same content that i made in MSOL?' I have two thoughts in my mind right now but i'm not sure if they are feasible. 

1. I make a new OL account and copy the homepage and other related files to the new account then try the re-delegation.

2. I will redirect to a free-domain and then from the free-domain i redirect to my site that i made in OL. 

Please tell me possible ways. I'm also rather dissapointed with the fact that MS-OL didn't warn me of any of this. Making a website is tough, huh.

I'm not sure what your best choice would be, but once you have registered/redelegated/ect, and removed the domain, it can never be used in any way with Office Live again, or at least until they change that.

Re: Domain Name Already Registered With Us

Oh great...that means i can no longer use MSOL for my own domain until further change. Is there any news on this issue?

I believe it is on the "Wish List"

Well,  I can tell you this. Google has much better process for handling domain verification and making sure you are not making such mistakes. Everything microsoft does has basic things missing in it. Why does it have to be so? This is the most annoying thing that is turning people away and this is after 2 years of being in release..

Microsoft should get its act straight if it has to compete in online services or let google run it..

I agree we have room to improve; would you care to comment what are the differences you see on how Goggle handles verification? I would love to pass this feedback in.
