The other day I registered a domain with DirectNic. It took about 24 hours for the DNS to catch up and I stuck up a single sentence test page. Later I get a voicemail from someone from a web design company wishing to talk to me about my recent registration of the domain, which they mentioned by name.
I was really surprised that someone "found" me that quick. I've had domains for years that nobody has ever called about and I've had calls that even though they didn't mention a domain I could figure out which one they were calling about from what they were pitching, but it was domains that had been up for a good while. I've seen some registers that sell recently registered domain lists, but I don't see that anywhere on the DirectNic site that they do. Is there some sort of master list covering all registrations sold somewhere?
Not that it's a big deal, my contact # always goes to voicemail, I just thought it odd. The guy could have been sitting there bored typing in names and just happened upon my recently registered... I just wish surfers could find a site that fast
