    Aquiring expired domains

    Whats the deal with those companies that attempt to get you a domain that has expired? Apparently upon expiring the domain goes through a 'redemption' period where the only previous owner may re-register it.

    These companies attempt to get you ownership of the domain during this phase.

    Anyone have any luck with this type of thing, or have any advice on how to do this?

    Thanks GFY'ers.

      I've had luck with Pool.com. If more than one person backorders a domain (which is free, unless they get it for you) then it goes to auction.

              These days, it is quite difficult to get good deals on expired domains. Unless you get very lucky, the domain will go to auction and you will pay "retail" price for it, which for decent/good domains is 4 - 5 figures.

                  So basically, once it goes into auction mode it's almost useless if you wanted to resell it.

                      it's pretty easy to get a expiring domain name, backorder the domain on 4-5 registrar like godady, pool, bluerazor and try to get it manually the day it drops.

                          1. determine the register that domain is currently registered on
                          2. signup for their backorder services
                          3. use free or, switchable drop services as a back up

                          so far i have gotten 90% of the domains i have tried to get
