Domain registrar Go Daddy said it has seen a “Super Bowl-like spike in traffic and domain registrations” when .me domains became available. The company said that it registered more than 20,000 .me names within the first 24 hours of availability.

Due to  server overload, “some” customers apparently registered domain names that were already taken or reserved by the .me registry before launch, which included domains for government use as as well as domain names “scheduled for a later release”. The company said that it has begun processing refunds to customers of the invalid registrations.
