I registered the domain ixgo.co.uk on Sunday. By Monday evening (GMT) it still wasn't showing. I left a message on their helpdesk. Tuesday morning it hadn't propagated. I phoned and the guy said its been reset or something and would take about 12 hours. 15 hours later nothing. So I phoned again and a guy said a technicial is just working on it now. 10 hours later it still hasn't propagated.
Anyone else have problems like this? How can I check its status? This is costing me money!! :(

If I remember it right, .co.uk domains take longer to resolve than
the ordinary extensions due to coordination with Nominet.

Several points here...:
There have a number of previous treads about problems when registering .uk domains through Registerfly. From those previous threads, and from what's been posted in this thread, it looks to me like they may not quite have their act together when it comes to ccTLD domains. Their explanations for the delay don't sound very plausible to me, unless they were trying to say that THEIR system wasn't working. .uk registration should be instant.
Davezan, what's this about .uk vs "ordinary domains"? There is nothing "non-ordinary" about ccTLDs, and registering .uk domains is as automated as registering domains under .com. Nominet is the registry for .uk in exactly the same way as Verisign is the registry for .com, and registering .uk domains does not require any special co-ordination. You just put a template into the registry system and the domain gets registered there and then just the same as a .com - it's fully automated. It used to be the case that the .uk zone only got updated once a day which meant that while registration (= putting the domain in the Whois) was instant the DNS side of things wasn't, but zone updates are now done through the day.
As the last poster correctly said, the domain is now registered (as of yesterday), and it was registered through 123reg who are a UK company. For the OP's sake I hope that this is HIS registration and not someone else's! If it is his then I would say he did exactly the right thing by giving up on Registerfly.
As I've said before, if you're in the UK the strong advice is to use a UK company for .uk registrations and not a foreign one. You're only going to complicate matters unnecessarily by going through a foreign company and foreign country's legal system.
