I have booked a domain name 2 days back through an internet company. I got no receipts till now. I see my name on the whois.com for this domain name. I emailed the internet company and no replies till now. I want to know what receipt I should have inorder to claim that this particular domain name is mine. Suppose tomorrow I opt for another company as my host then how do i tell them that this domain name is mine? By the way I made the payment for the domain name through a bank cheque.
Thanks for your answer. My doubt wasn’t whether the domain name i got is unique or not. Today I registered the domain name through one company. Right now i haven’t hosted my site. Now my doubt is how do i claim this domain name belongs to me or inother words how do i host my site using this domain name with another hosting company? I hope you understand my question.

you only get one receipt and that would of been at the completion of your transaction and it would of been up to you to have printed it before you closed your confirmation,
Now as proof, domain names dont work like you are thinking they do. To get a domain name the name you have selected is serched on the world wide directory of domain names. You would not even gotten the domain name if there was a duplicate. It is impossible for you to get a duplicate, it is strictly inforced before you were even given the name. A domain name is translated to a numeral address. such as a made up one 201.234.84.897 it shows as a name but it is converted to the number when it communicates over the internet. So it is impossible for two same address to exist. the page would not display because over the internet the protocal would be corupted. You have nothing to prove to anyone, you own it, you use it, if you type in your domain name and it goes to your page, end of story. In short I tried to not be to technical version, I can break it down to bits and packets or binary if you want,,,, hehehehe
Depending on the company you registered your desired domain name through, many would issue an online “receipt” on the spot after you submitted your order. Some would also email you such showing an “order number”, domain name, name, etc.
As one who’s worked in the domain registration business before, I’ll tell you it’s very very rare for a company to process a domain registration order via cheque/check. Many people “demand” real time registration and order processing, and paying via check poses serious payment risks on the part of the service provider.
From what you’ve described so far, I’ll hazard a guess that they HAVEN’T registered the domain name pending approval of your check payment. Meaning they want to make sure it’s good before doing what you EXPECT them to do.
Most domain registrations nowadays are done via credit card, either online or on the phone. If you’re not willing to take that leap of faith, nothing’s going to happen.
