Hi Mark, The point is that the test environment is just that...TEST. When you do an availability check there, all you're determining is whether somebody else registered the domain during THEIR testing. Horizon is not the real world in any way shape or form.
The lesson is this: Don't be alarmed to find what appears to be a really valuable domain name available in the test system, and don't be concerned if a domain that you KNOW you've registered turns up as available in the test system. Hope that helps.
