Just like the subject line says.
A domain I REALLY REALLY want is in the redemption period and looks like it's going to lapse.
What is the best way(s) to get that domain name?
Suggestions, please! :fucked: :embarassed:
Best bet to get an expiring domain?

Use several backorder services for the same domain name, pool, snapnames, godaddy, etc
Chances are that 1 of them will grab it as long as nobody else got in line before you

i use ENOM. But if you can say who the registar is I can tell you who to use.Originally Posted by Richard Craver
bostonboy, the registrar is tucows.com
Richard,
I have used enom's drop service with good results. IF it were a Net Sol domain you would want to use snapnames.
Tucows is somewhat of a bitch for an average webmaster to work with as they cater mostly to wholesalers.
I would try and use snapnames.com, pool.com, and enom.com. Each does it a little differently.
Basically what's going to happen when the drop hits these three servers will pound Verisign and one will get it then you goto the next step. Each handles the next step differently.
I have never wanted a domain name bad enough that I have used all three. Enom has been good to me. However if you really want it then i would od all three. If it was a Netsol domain, then snapnames would prolly catch it for you.

PM if you need help...
Here is a site from my bookmarks that is interesting.
http://www.premiumdrops.com/
tnx lloyd. help much appreciated.:thumbsup:
bump.
the domain i want is parked with sedoparking.com
does that make a difference in which company to use?
No because thats just a nameserver issue.
However, if a domain is parked and generating income, that doesnt necessarily mean the owner is going to let it expire.
I make more than the cost of a domain back most of the time within the first month from parking a name at Sedo rather than just letting it go to a registrars holding page.

Richard,
What phase is the domain in?
1-40 days = expired
41-70 = redemption
71-75 = locked
Then the good old "drop".
The fact that it is at Sedo and not parked at the registar is interesting. Registars have amended their agreements so that when a name expires they can reposses it and sell it themsleves. Maybe Tucows is trying to get a value on the domain by parking a Sedo.
You really need to be careful as some Registars cut that initial 40 day grace period down and reposses the domain themselves. It's against ICANN guidelines, but it happens.
My guess - the domain name will hit the auction block.
Shoot me a PM and I can help you get the domain name if you want.
Lloyd
