    Please Help the Noob Catch a Drop!

    Success! Success! :tu: Thanks again all! So here is what happened (with a cautionary tale for any other noobs using this thread for guidance): I had registered ahead of time on all three services (Pool, SnapNames, and NameJet), and I blocked out time on the day the domain was...

    Please Help the Noob Catch a Drop!

    Thanks yet again Erdinc! So now that I know what "last minute" means at each of the services, am I correct that I need to play the last minute game at SnapNames, just like we do at NameJet? Or is the "bidders" field that they show somehow different? And by the way -- you don't like my...

    Please Help the Noob Catch a Drop!

    One More Question... Ok, one more question before I take the plunge, about when to place my bids: The domain I am after has shown up as a pending delete on the lists of Namejet, Pool, and Snapnames. On Namejet, it says "Order By" 6/11/2010 9:00 am (PST). That is perfectly clear, and I...

    Please Help the Noob Catch a Drop!

    Thank you! Thanks so much Erdinc for clearly and directly addressing my questions and concerns -- I'm going to rest a bit easier now and will watch carefully for my opportunity to grab this domain. I just hope nobody else is interested in it! Thanks also to Ms Domainer, and everyone else in...

    Please Help the Noob Catch a Drop!

    Erdinc -- The registrar is PlanetOnline.net (which I mentioned in this thread before :]). I mentioned (as is still the case) that I have had no luck figuring out whether that outfit has a relationship with any of the big drop-catch services. If you can provide any insight, I'd appreciate...

    Please Help the Noob Catch a Drop!

    Thanks again Ms Domainer -- I truly appreciate the help! Whois shows the nameserver as: DNS.PARKPAGE.FOUNDATIONAPI.COM. Googling that doesn't yield me anything that looks helpful. Any tips? Again, I'm pretty sure this is not going to be a hot domain. I googled it extensively in deciding...

    Please Help the Noob Catch a Drop!

    Thanks very much everyone. This domain is not bad, but I doubt whether it would be considered "hot." It just happens to suit an idea I want to develop. That said, who knows. The registrar is Planet Online. I have been completely unable to determine if they have a relationship with any of...

    Please Help the Noob Catch a Drop!

    More Guidance Please? Ok, so the domain I am after is almost through the redemption period. Can you all please confirm my strategy, or tell me if I can do better: 1) I'll be checking WHOIS frequently to see when it switches from "redemption period" to "pending delete." There is nothing I...

    How Long is Redemption Period?

    I know, I know, the easy answer is "30 days". But is it EXACTLY 30 days? In all cases? No more, no less? If a domain I want goes into redemption period, can I relax for 29 days before checking back in on it? Or do I need to watch for it daily for any reason? Thanks!

    Please Help the Noob Catch a Drop!

    Thanks Sdsinc. That Whois info did not provide much more to go on. How can I tell if a particular registrar does this sort of thing, or if it has a relationship with one of the big domain catching companies, such as Pool or Namejet?

    Please Help the Noob Catch a Drop!

    Thanks, I think I'm safe on the date unless someone plans to go after every single domain on a particular date in the hopes of getting a few dollars out of me. And your comment really gets to one of my questions: The WhoIs info says the domain will be "permanently deleted" on May 6. But...

    Please Help the Noob Catch a Drop!

    Thanks Keithmt, Any thoughts about figuring out when it is going to drop and whether I need to "time" my backorder so as not to inadvertently create interest in the domain?

    Please Help the Noob Catch a Drop!

    I am not a domainer and don’t plan to become one, but there is one domain (a .com) that I’m really interested in getting my hands on for a business venture I’d like to launch. The more googling I do on the topic, the more confused I become about the best way to go about this. I’m hoping you...
