Anyone use SnapNames?

Hi everyone,
Was just wondering, before you backorder at SnapNames, it asks you to chose the Preferred Registrar, and the choice of PairNIC, BulkRegister, and NameBay.

What difference does the choice make? I mean, I have never heard of these 3 before, and after all. Is this going to be the registrar if I win the name I am trying to backorder?

Thanks for your time and have a great day.

If you choose a registrar your chances of them catching is even smaller. Don't choose would be my suggestion and let them try at all.

Oh I see,
The little side note explains it all :blink:

Note: The "preferred registrar" selection only applies to the registration of new, currently available domain names.

Oh so if you pick a registra only that one tries to get the domain for you?

No, that option is only for the domain registration feature, SnapNames has two features, it can register a domain for you and/or it can backorder it for you.
That's why there are two check boxes there.
