Domain pre-registration: Who does it best? - GoFuckYourself.com

Dagwolf · 08-21-2004, 12:40 PM

What domain company is the fastest at grabbing pre-registered domains for you? There's one I REALLY want but I'm afraid it'll go right away.

Use the search, last week there was a guy posting his review on over 15 compagnies that do the job

What search? I heard that there was a search link.. I thought that was just a joke.

snapnames has worked for me, I've also used enom

Illicit · 08-21-2004, 02:50 PM

I use Pool with alot of success... they have a shit load of registrars to get the name

Dagwolf · 08-21-2004, 03:00 PM

Thanks, guys! I just signed up with SnapNames for it. I didn't see the "pool" link first.. maybe wouldn't hurt to hedge my bets, though.

There is so much competition these days, that if the domain does get captured and goes to auction, you will end up buying it for maximum retail price. If its a decent name, make sure you're ready to drop a few thousand or more.

Um, this wasn't the one I was looking for... but I just registered sxjs.com for $8.65, and they charged me an additional $60 in fees on top of it (rather dishonestly, I think!)

Did I get ripped? Should I charge back? Those fees were not explicitly listed on the form I approved.

Dagwolf · 08-21-2004, 03:52 PM

I'm a fucking idiot... It was a pre-authorization for $60 and will be back on my account in 48-72 hours.

Sorry, Pool.com!

DrGuitar · 08-21-2004, 03:58 PM

mmm I think that's the way this expired domain services work

Taboo · 08-21-2004, 04:06 PM

be careful placing a backorder on domains you don't want, because if you make a typo, some services WILL register it for $60. i.e. SNAPNAMES. so be careful.

Thanks, Taboo.

I got cut off by a thunderstorm right after your post. I only had time to start reading the first thread, but it's definitely enlightening.
