Backorder Domains

[sleepy]

Is there good software available to compete with snapnames, pool, namewinner, etc. in dropped domain grabbing with some chance for success?
All comments and experiences are highly welcome.

Thanks a lot.

No desktop software can compete with a dropcatcher these days. If you manage to catch one withe a desktop program chances are the name was not desirable at all.

But what is the reason for this huge advantage?
What does the dropcatcher have, what a software developer is unable to realize?

They have rrp, which is direct to the domain servers which can tell if a name comes avlaible in 0.00's of a second.

Api desktop scripts work by looking up whois which may take 3-10 seconds maybe even a few mins.

So there is no chance.

But you can snap well with api for .org and .us.

Registrars

Thanks a lot.
I found this interesting Who is Who?:

I think the main problem is, that the really effective grab-script must run on registrar-level, who has the interface to the shared registry and this registrars have their catch-partners like listed on the above site.
