Best Domain Backordering Service

[unam]

I've recently been lookin into makin a backorder for a domain. The companies Im looking into are snapnames, pool, enom, and godaddy. Has anyone had experience with these programs. I would like to hear your input on this.

i bought a go daddy backorder about a year ago and still have not had a success. Pool almost always get the names i want but they are expensive at $60

Good points of Snapnames

Easy to use, good bidding set up and alot of the oldest and best names dropping IMO

Bad Points

Too many hungry sharks swim there.
Some of the names that drop end up at crappy registers.

ps - who is the current register of the name you are interested in ?
(this may determine which drop company will be more likely to get it for you)

the registrar of one of mines is enom and the other one is godaddy

im not sure if i have great chance though because both of them have been registered since '96 althought one is expiring in two days

Domain Backorder is not a "secret" way to get the name nowadays. Most of domainers knows about this and this is the PROBLEM! Why? you can see in Snapnames and pool ...there are so many people do fighting bids for a name ==> price become realy high (manytimes it is higher than the domain value). I personlally prefer the old way that Snapnames did it by first come first serve and if you paid for a domain $60 and if Snapname won the name ==> you are 100% own it.
From this reason, I prefer the way Godaddy does it nowadays. First come first serve. I have won some name from this service without worry about my fighting bid with my small budget for the name investment.

It depends where the domains were registered in the first place. GoDaddy has set up tdnam.com to deal with their expiring domains so that's the best place to grab a domain that was first registered by GoDaddy.

Snapnames is another good place to get an expiring domain name but the minimum you're going to pay is $60. If anyone else wants it, the price will certainly rise.
