Hi All,
I've been reading up about domain backordering, but there's so much info that seems to change regularly it's difficult to know the best approach to take. I build sites for a living, and owned plenty of domains, but I'm completely new to catching an expiring domain.
The domain I'm looking at is a .com, with an expiry date of tomorrow. It's owned by HugeDomains, who I know are big boys in domaining, so there's a good chance they'll auto-renew it. They have it listed currently for $2.3k.
I have a few questions if any of you fine folk care to offer any advice...
Is it likely HugeDomains will release a domain? Or is the cost so trivial they'll just retain it as a matter of course?
Which service is best to try a back order? I know DropCatch are owned by HD, but if I backorder with them, would this just give HD a heads-up there's interest prompting them to renew it?
When is the best time to place a back order with e.g. SnapNames or NameJet? I know they work together, so best to place with just one of them
Any advice would be greatly appreciated - I'm not a speculator, I'm just looking for the name for a project!
Thanks all.
