godaddy have a backorder service, but IMHO it is a waste of time.

so, AFAIK, you best bet is to consult this list:

To see who is best for the registrar the name is at, and then go put a bid on the name, and cross your fingers non of the millionaire bidders have noticed the name is dropping.

In my experience yes it's useless, but some NP'ers have reported success with it, there's a decent thread on it here:

Not, not 100% useless... use godaddy back-order if the name you want is expiring at godaddy or at a wildwest reseller. Otherwise, other dropcatchers are a better bet.

I don't understand pool.com backordering. I added some domains to backorder, waited for the expire date to pass and they didn't email me or anything saying I won/lost or have to bid for it.

What's up with that?

I use snapnames 95% of the time but if I really want a chance at it I use pool as a backup.

I am a newbie at this so I had no idea what back ordering was. Although I might not try that service unless I want the domain badly enough. Nice to meet you all.

But I think getting a domain from a back order or a domain which was in use..is much more better than registering a brand new name.....Isnt it ?
Especially for newbies ?

You can get steady traffic, plus a good name sometimes !

Yes, I agree with you. BUT you must find the best name from the best source and back order it with the right place! :D
