> regular domains take 24 hours to be useful anyways

It only takes about 10 minutes for a new registration to go live with most registrars. If you set your DNS servers during the purchase and have the zones ready from the get-go, your domain is resolving on the web immediately.

that's accurate. we pride ourselves in getting most of our domains online and functional in about 30 seconds -- as long as you don't visit the domain within those first 30 seconds and get your ISP to cache the "does not exist" record.
