Secrets behind UltSearch and Buydomains

What do you think are the secrets behind these companies, how come they are able to buy domains before pool.com or similars? Of course they have direct connection with registries but this is not all, fast servers? low ping response? There must be some glitch.

They started years ago where nobody really cared about expired domains, I doubt that they're still able to do what they did in the past without paying a lot for most domains.

You are half right, they are still catching good names for a new domain registration price.

my guess is they just have the cash to buy it from the person right before it expires or they are in with a registrar in an illegal way...

ICANN accredited and servers right next to their processing server location would it be then.Money for it shouldn't be a problem for them.

People who let good domains expire don't know shit and obviously don't care about them.It's likely that they aren't reachable and if they are I'd never deal with those idiots.

Idiots are most likely to act unpredictable and foolish.

You have a part of the solution ;)

You never noticed their domains are almost never on the same registrar? always bogus one with templatemonster templates ?

Ill give you a sample.

With Pool, when you win a domain , you prolly noticed often its often a completly BS registrar no one know about with a BS template for front.

If you get domains often from them, its almost never the same registrar.

So Ultimate Search do the same thing as pool but with a lot more connection to the registry it seem. They never use the same registrar to.

Yes you have a direct connect with ICANN , but they prolly have 250 of them on many servers in diff location.

So when you hit the registry 1 time to reg a domain , they prolly hit them 180 times before you.

They're mainly using Melbourne IT and Moniker, you're on the wrong path.

Another big one seems to get the domains through eNom.

Ultrasearch also drops more or less much per year, sometimes they seem to loose track.

It's basically a numbers game....


Example... say there are 100 registrars.

If you have exclusive deals with 10 of them, then, all other factors aside (like server location or configuration), you have a 10% chance of getting any domain you are trying to "snap" up.

Using the same example, if POOL has exclusive deals with 50 of those registrars, then odds are, they can get 1 out of every 2 domains they go after (if they allocated all their connections for that domain).

So even if you had only ONE exclusive deal with a registrar, you could still go after a considerable amount of expiring domains with lower demand & be fairly successfull at getting them.


Make sense?

Yup its something similar to this.

But you can add the fact they create registrars themself to.
So they can hit more hard.

Proof?

I doubt they own several ICANN accredited registrars and reseller accounts are useless.

I just see moniker and melbourne IT which are both ICANN accredited.

Sort of... but ICANN makes you jump through a few hoops to become, and continue to be a registrar.

That is why (in the past anyway) it has been much easier for places like Pool to just make deals with registrars.

I have heard that domain snapping companies pay or have paid each registrar between $10,000 and $20,000 a month for exclusive access to their registration connections (forgot the term) during drop times.

$10,000/month to a company in say, India, is A LOT of money & should more than cover all operation expenses of your legitimate Registrar operation. Get it?

I checked some domains and ultsearch uses moniker mostly,
buydomains uses domaindiscover so I dont think you are correct saying they have tens of bogus registrars. In fact after some thinking I must say this should help unless registry is allowing many connections per company which is allowed AFAIK.

An Indian company paid as much as an American company to ICANN but not every registrar is earning real big money per month, no matter if Indian or American.

A registration blacklist + access would do the job I guess.

THEY may not create a bunch of bogus registrars, but when OTHER PEOPLE know that someone is willing to pay them $5,000+ per month to "Become a registrar", then people will start to get creative.

The day you get listed as an new ICANN registrar, you can bet that more than one person is going to contact you with a business proposition.

Huh?

I'm not sure I follow you on either statement.

Every registrar, if they are smart and know what people are willing to pay for access to the registry connections when names drop - is earning decent money for selling that access.

It would be hard to find one that isn't in that game now - if you could even find one at all.

----

Registration blacklist? In what sense? Like...if the domain is registered with a company that sells out during drop times to a domain snapping company then you want to punish all of that registrars customers who have no idea about any of this?

You're missing the point.... they aren't fake registrars. Well, some are constantly "under construction" but keeping up with their dues or whatever.... but I would think they can only do that for so long before ICANN will can them.

I think the main reason that domain snapping people are willing to pay others who WANT to become registrars is because there are a certain number of requirements that must be met in order to become, and continue to be a registrar.

If it was easier to start new companies and do it themselves than it is to pay someone $X/month then they would just do it themselves.

Getting ICANN accredited isn't free:

http://www.icann.org/registrars/accr...financials.htm

An indian company pays as much as an american even if that amount of money is more in india.

With registration blacklist I ment to blacklist all expiering domains so they get a huge delay or an order could not be proccessed.

Here you go....

Become a registar

In addition to demonstrating that you have the technical skills and business plan required to operatate a registrar...

You'll need a cash deposit,
And Irrevocable standby LOC from your bank,
and a security bond -- IIRC it was around $75,000 to $100,000 minimum for the year.

It takes money to make money

You're missing the point.... they aren't fake registrars. Well, some are constantly "under construction" but keeping up with their dues or whatever.... but I would think they can only do that for so long before ICANN will can them.

I think the main reason that domain snapping people are willing to pay others who WANT to become registrars is because there are a certain number of requirements that must be met in order to become, and continue to be a registrar.

If it was easier to start new companies and do it themselves than it is to pay someone $X/month then they would just do it themselves.
Yes, i got the point.

My "fake registrar" point was about the ugly templates and the no support from thoose registrars. Like thoose registrars were used only to snap domains.

I know you need lot of stuff to become one, "fake" was not the good word for it.

The "fake" was about the same ppl controling all of them or take over access on all of them to snap domains, like you explained.

In addition to demonstrating that you have the technical skills and business plan required to operatate a registrar...

You'll need a cash deposit,
And Irrevocable standby LOC from your bank,
and a security bond -- IIRC it was around $75,000 to $100,000 minimum for the year.

It takes money to make money
If you are a registrar how much does each .com domain cost you?

An indian company pays as much as an american even if that amount of money is more in india.

Right.... which is why it is important that people getting into the registrar business actually WANT to become a registrar.

However, if you are in India, your monthly overhead will be much lower than in the states (ie, salaries of IT staff)

So having a benefactor that is willing to assure that you make a profit every month in exchange for exclusive access to a certain function of your service without really effecting your service as a whole... could be seen as a good thing.
