        Count me in!



        Nah... actually I'm pissed at Pool right now. So I have been investigating what would be required to start snapping domains myself..... but looks like Pool has a near-monopoly on things.


        A domain I wanted is going to auction off for probably close to $10,000 -- when the NameWinner bid was $110.


        After reading more about them on another forum regarding auctions and proxy bids, I think they might be crooked (as fuck).

          You can say that shit again. I've been buying domains from
          auctions (NameWinner), drop clubs and SnapNames for years.

          Then Pool comes along and a $400 domain goes for $10,000.

          A $20,000 goes for $60,000. Even fucking crap names that
          aren't worth registration are going for thousands.

          I gave up on pool a while ago. They're big time cocksmokers and
          will milk you out of every penny you have. Then they'll place
          bullshit names in your account and say you bought em. You're
          basically bidding up against Pool, and they know how to jerk
          people around.

          Somehow I still think WLS will be much worse, if it can get any
          worse.

                  yeah, i am.

                  drop clubs were popular back in the day. 007domains had one,
                  000domains had one, and a bunch of other registrars had em.

                  basically same thing as snapnames except you tell em how
                  much you want to pay for the name that is due to drop today,
                  (ex: $5k) and they use their connections to get it for you.

                  minimum bids were like $250-$500 but if a good name was
                  to drop, bidding on a few good private drop clubs would
                  pretty much guarantee the name.

                  they used to be great, until pool convinced all of them to drop
                  their shit and only work for pool.

                  shit happens.

                  enom has a drop club now but its total garbage.

                    You're one of the few that make sense over there.


                    I found out about enom's club yesterday. Good to hear it's garbage. In general I dont like any of these drop clubs because they have turned the whole process to a monopoly. Individuals lost the control and now everything ends up to an auction.

                        Thanks.

                        Right, every service except for Snaps is auction based now.

                        I'm sure snaps would have converted too, but they're the
                        front guys for WLS so they'll have to wait it out. After WLS
                        starts, Snapnames will be making nice cash, and of course
                        Verisign will be brining home all the money from every single
                        drop.

                        Like KRL said, this shit is getting harder and harder by the day.

                          it's hardly a monopoly, the list above shows there are 5-6 decent sized players. Clearly Pool.com are a major player, but no where near a monopoly.

                          WLS is a monopoly, plain and simple.

                          Enom's club drop isn't garbage. They're not going to get top tier names, but they get what you'd expect from having 3 dedicated RRP connects, and I think they are improving. They did have a couple days of not running at all lately, that sucked.

                            Yep, WLS will be a 100% monopoly.

                            But Pool still gets a good 60-75% of all PRIME drops. I'm not
                            talking about the bullshit names that enom and namefox catch.

                            I'm talking about names like the recent dictonary.com drop that
                            went for some $13k on Pool (which was actually an OK price).

                            Names like lyirics.com that it caught today.

                            I haven't used Pool in about 2 months, and I'm just listing some
                            random names that I saw they caught on the forums, but here
                            is my point.

                            If it's GOOD, then pool WILL catch it. 90% of the time.

                            To me, that's as good as a monopoly.

                              yeah but there's a lot more to the expiring domain market than the top 5 names that drop each day.

                              As it stands at the moment yes Pool has a huge market share, but if you want you can start a registry and get an RRP connect, and perhaps even start a few. If you put in the work and had some resources you could compete against pool. Well some of the well financed players already certainly could.

                              With WLS, Verisign gets a monopoly, and everyone knows how everything VRSN touches turns to crap

                              I'm not opposed to WLS, because I can't really be bothered trying to compete with Pool, they're so far ahead, and I think I'll probably do better under WLS.

                              I just think there are good arguments on both sides.

                                As it stands at the moment yes Pool has a huge market share, but if you want you can start a registry and get an RRP connect, and perhaps even start a few. If you put in the work and had some resources you could compete against pool. Well some of the well financed players already certainly could.

                                With WLS, Verisign gets a monopoly, and everyone knows how everything VRSN touches turns to crap

                                I'm not opposed to WLS, because I can't really be bothered trying to compete with Pool, they're so far ahead, and I think I'll probably do better under WLS.

                                I just think there are good arguments on both sides.
                                It's against ICANN law to become a registrar in order to chase
                                drops.

                                Now, becoming a registrar aint that expensive, you're looking
                                at maybe $10k/month + $100k in hardware start up costs. The
                                only thing that you need to have as proof is a nice bank account
                                with some $500k.

                                If you don't have that, good luck becoming a registrar.

                                Now let's multiply that a few times and see how easy it is.

                                If it was possible, big guns like Buy Domains who have 250k+
                                prime domains would have done this YEARS ago. Why would
                                they want to pay registrars $5k/name when they can get
                                it for $6 if they were a registrar?

                                Same goes for ultimate search.

                                These guys have tens of millions allocated for domain investments.
                                Why wouldnt they spend some of that money on becoming a
                                registrar (even when it was safe) and "secure" their success.


                                One thing I'll agree on though, WLS will certainly fuck things up!

                                  the only domain name out of there i would buy is AR.COM
                                  How can I buy that. Networksolutions and godaddy dont even recognize it.

                                      I don't know if it's against ICANN law or not, but the application requires fairly minimal detail on why you're becoming a registar.
                                      They have also stated, they are only there to make sure registrars meet the minimal standard they're not there to stop people becoming registrars.

                                      I've been filling out the application. you only need 70k in your bank account, with insurance up to 500k. Those hardware costs are a bit exorbitant, I could do it MUCH cheaper.

                                          I don't really see how a new registar could make up bank . All the good domain registration domains are registered already .
                                          (that's a lot of registration and domains in the same line)

                                          You would have to have a huge ass hosting compagny to cover the fees

                                                Pool is buying RRP access at an average of $20k/month/registrar. They also pay the registrars a % of the winning bid. I don't
                                                know anything about them completely buying out registrars
                                                and using them only to catch drops. Though they have been
                                                known to force some of the registrars to shut down site
                                                operations during drop times to their other customers.

                                                WLS wasn't even in the news 2 years ago or so when BD
                                                broke 150k domains or when UltSearch broke 50k, yet they
                                                didn't become registrars.

                                                  known to force some of the registrars to shut down site
                                                  operations during drop times to their other customers.

                                                  WLS wasn't even in the news 2 years ago or so when BD
                                                  broke 150k domains or when UltSearch broke 50k, yet they
                                                  didn't become registrars.
                                                  yeah well they had direct access, ultsearch through melbourneIT, and buydomains had access to different direct connects. It wasn't so crowded then, and there were still existing registrars who could be recruited to give them RRP access.

                                                  How do you know pool is paying 20k a month? I find that hard to believe.

                                                    With the amounts of money being made out there on these domain auctions, I don't doubt it.


                                                    But if it's true, then it's like saying "Jump through all the hoops, become a registrar and we'll guarantee you $10k profit per month minimum"

                                                    Sounds good to me.

                                                      well i know this is simplistic... but your list shows pool have 42 registrars.. how many domains go for 20k each day? Because by that maths pool are paying ~30k a day to registrars without even giving them a percent?

                                                        They have also stated, they are only there to make sure registrars meet the minimal standard they're not there to stop people becoming registrars.

                                                        I've been filling out the application. you only need 70k in your bank account, with insurance up to 500k. Those hardware costs are a bit exorbitant, I could do it MUCH cheaper.

                                                        Icann accreditation application instructions

                                                        Are you aware how backlogged ICANN is?

                                                        It would take over a year for them to review your application (AFAIK).

                                                        Like Luc said, there is a reason that the bigger players don't start their own registrars.

                                                        However I believe NameScout are somehow related.

                                                          I know they are paying aprx $20k to each registrar because
                                                          I had a closed deal with a registrar to create a Pool like
                                                          service 6+ months ago and my price was $10k/month +
                                                          domain registration costs. I was not going to offer a split
                                                          revenue deal though.

                                                          I was pretty close with this registrar for solid weeks and the
                                                          deal was for 12 months.

                                                          Just as I was about to pay they called me up, told me what
                                                          the current deal with Pool is and that I'd have to at least
                                                          match it to play the game.

                                                          Since I knew nothing about programming RRP and since the
                                                          guy who founded pool was an ex-snapnames employee (making

                                                            maybe they're backlogged because all the big players are starting registrars
