question Best place to backorder?

There are the big players: SnapNames, NameJet, DropCatch, Pheenix Then the smaller players: DyanaDot, Name.com, GoDaddy, etc. They offer the (roughly) same service for different costs, and each has their own success rate. If you really want a domain, I'd suggest backordering it at all of the...

One question about domain status

clientTransferProhibited is simply a domain "Transfer Lock". Some registrars call it different things, but it is just a local transfer lock. This can be removed by a simple command to the registry, and is something that can be done via any registrar's control panel.

Domain won't go out of redemption period

When a domain expires, registrars typically keep it in "expiration" (Which is formally called Auto-Renew Grace Period) for anywhere between 30 and 45 days. On the 46th day, the registrar will be eating the cost of the renewal, so they will try to delete the domain somewhere between the 35th and...

Acquiring an 'abandoned' domain with invalid whois and DNS?

When a .COM domain hits it's expiration date, Verisign automatically renews it for one year and charges the registrar. It is up to the registrar to delete the domain if they are unable to get payment from the registrant. For example: - Domain xyz.com expires on 5/16/2014. - Verisign...
