DesktopCatcher software

[Paul123]

Hi everyone.

Just interested to hear if anyone has had any experience of software you can buy for drop catching. With drop catchers all allowing multiple back orders and then going to auction, it makes sense to buy the software if it works ? The cost is around $200 which is a good investment if it catches a few good domains. Maybe it's worth buying a few different software packages to stand a better chance of catching a good domain ?

Any thoughts please ?

Best,
Paul

You cannot make multiple requests to Dynadot from one API, else you will be suspended for 10mins. Every request must be made after the previous is completed . To run 10 instances of a script you must have 10 different accounts with different APIs, but this sounds to me illegal.
NameSilo does not suspend API users, just increase response time.
If it was so easy to catch good domains Namebright and others would be dead. The only chance is if no big dropcatcher is aiming domain you want.

@catchnames - IN is available at - RRPProxy US$18, Gandi US$7.75 (special, reg price $15.50) ResellerClub this month is US$2.99 (see my sig) HOWEVER ResellerClub has an API limit, which might be fine for IN depending on the length of the drop window

There may be more that's who I know out of the registrars I use - No IN at eNom, DynaDot, NameSilo

I have not personally tried to catch IN yet, do they publish a dropping list? I'd be happy to test it with RC

Creating drop list is not that hard for dictionary word and geo .in names.

How do you do create the lists?

@Adam27 - I would have to agree. Larger companies with their own registrars will always have an upper hand. Also, thanks for sharing the link to my original thread.

@catchnames - Yes, lots of people catch IN domains with it. You can check the website and see which extensions are supported for each registrar, but almost all support IN/CO.IN extensions. @usernamex gave some great info about prices except DynaDot and eNom do support IN (NameSilo does not).. I have found specifically with DynaDot, they have less success with IN domains unless you have high spending with them.

I feel very sad for those who think you can beat a registrar using desktop software. If every computer in the world ran one of these desktop catching software and they tried to catch a certain name, the registrar will still beat it with just one thread.

Sure, for names no registrar yet you feel others will hand reg or use desktop software when it drops, sure it is important to have it so it levels the playing field.

Sure @FPForum, lots of great info there. Very interested in giving DesktopCatcher a spin one day.

very very very expensive software, I can probably hire someone to make me a simple soft for the dropcatching part for around $20.. If this would be under $100 I would think about it, but think I'm going to make one myself..

Which Bulk checker do you use ?

@AEProgram - I don't think you really know what you're talking about, so people should probably just ignore your post above. Do you know how registrars and their connections to the registries really work? Do you [em]really[/em] think a registrar would beat this software using 1 registry connection? Unlike you I've done work with registries in the past, and I can tell you that you're wrong. I don't think they really work the way you're thinking...lol

@itaa - First you'll hire someone, then you'll just make it yourself. Best of luck to you :D

@Domainstore - There is one built in directly to DesktopCatcher, but as his reply states I think he says that he is using "domain punch professional".

@itaa

I don't think you will be making software like this so easily.

There is way more to this software than you realize, and it is pretty arrogant of you to make the statement you did without even trying the software.

Have you even seen it for yourself?

I have this software and can tell you it is good software and clearly not something you can just "whip up".

A lot goes into it and it is updated and maintained which adds value, not to mention the great support.

Get real man!

Your software will never be able to outrun a registrar. Next you will tell us that dropcatch uses your software.

I am not selling anything here, you are, I would like anyone to share one domain that we know registrars went after, decent name that your software caught, it will never happen.

You wrote a bunch of BS to try to make it appear to people you know something special. In my opinion Your software cannot catch and will not catch domains registrars are after, stop defrauding the public with misinformation NOW!

You remind me of people who peddle forex software claiming they can play with the big boys once they own it.

You started off honest, and I agreed the software has its place for domains registrars are not after. Now you are just blatantly using deception to give people false hope. SHAME ON YOU!

@AEProgram, you are wrong!

In the last seven days, I beat my own Dynadot Backorder two times : on two similar domains (4N.info)

I guess that's relevant here because:

- I know registrar went after it because I backordered it myself with Dynadot
- It's pretty decent to me, I receive offers for such names.

===

Other proof. I had several dynadot backorders beat by other people using dynadot as a registrar. For example the Nicked / dot / net service. My guess at that time was they had a special agreement with dynadot so that their use of the API was even faster than dynadot's system. Now I've seen it for my own benefit without any kind of agreement with dynadot. My guess is that the more you spend with dynadot, the higher you are in API access priority.

You wrote a bunch of BS to try to make it appear to people you know something special. In my opinion Your software cannot catch and will not catch domains registrars are after, stop defrauding the public with misinformation NOW!

Once again, your opinion is wrong, you have the right to express it, but it's just that. As for "the bunch of BS", I think you are attacking the wrong guy: @FPForum takes so much of his time to answer any technical questions here and via email... He always has detailed and clear answers. I think many users of the software will vouch for him here!

You started off honest, and I agreed the software has its place for domains registrars are not after. Now you are just blatantly using deception to give people false hope. SHAME ON YOU!

I think you may be confusing two things : registrars and big dropcatchers. I'm pretty sure you can't beat Snapnames / Dropcatch / Namejet / Pool / Hexonet on the names they are after, because I've tried systematically for several month to catch names like 4L.com or names from the Namejet list with the software with 0.00% success

Now I think Dynadot comes nowhere near the level of these companies in terms of dropcatching backorders (compare their $15.99 price for a .com to the standard $59/$69 of the others). That's why the software gives you a chance there.

As you can see in the reply above, there are users out there whom have both TESTED and BEATEN backorders against registrars in the past. People have tested against themselves just to see what type of results may arise! @HDmarketing is just one member who has shared this info with me, but guess what? I've heard it from numerous other users in the past as well.

If you read my posts, my website...etc. then one thing you will notice is that I DO NOT promote this. There are plenty of reviews across this forum, my website, and other forums that clearly explain what you should ideally use the software for! I make NO guarantee that you will beat any type of registrar or backorder outlet with this software. If anything I tell those looking to beat backorder outlets they should not use the software with that kind of expectation. It's meant to ease the process of hand registering, and that's pretty much what it's always been advertised as. If you have any further luck past that then it's great and I always love hearing stories like that. Has this type of thing happened in the past? YES, but with less competitive names and against less competitive outlets such as BackorderZone, DynaDot, and I even heard Pheenix late last year. Is it something that I would count on or go around advertising to people? NO. So... as you say, it will never happen? I've reached out to other users this has happened with in the past as well to see if they would care to share their experience here with us.

Once again, I don't think you really have that much experience in this. You haven't bought the software, used it, tested against it, or anything of that nature. But guess what, other users have.

If you want to sit and compare me to some Forex peddler that claims my software can beat the big boys then you obviously haven't read the website, the reviews in forum posts..etc. What have you been doing in this thread the whole time? Please tell me where I defrauded people. Where did I say something that was inaccurate? I think if you look at the reviews and talk to people who use the software you would find I try to be as honest and down to earth as possible.

Nowhere do I claim backorder outlets or registrars use my drop catching software (I even answered someones question like that a long time ago here). But, guess who probably has a better idea on how their system actually works between the two of us? I started off honest and have remained honest the entire time. If a registrar or backorder outlet isn't putting much attention onto a name then it would certainly be possible it could be beaten. I know because people have told me this in the past. You said it could never be done even if "If every computer in the world ran one of these desktop catching software and they tried to catch a certain name" then "the registrar will still beat it with just one thread." - Once again, your statement was 100% inaccurate.

I'm not a liar, you're just someone who doesn't know what they are really talking about and is trying to put down something you've never tried or tested. Are you going to setup a registrar and run it against all of us (certainly not 1 computer in the entire world) on "1 thread" to test your theory out? lol.. You are trying to give a review or a testimonial based on what you think you know, but have never tried. Honestly, I think you owe me and all the readers inside this thread an apology, heh...

 

[dordomai]

I beat Backorderzone once with a handreg(no script). One of my Dynadot backorders lost against of one their API customers.

So from time to time one can beat the smaller backorder services but I think it's often not because of skills or the technology one uses but because of the other service failing.

I don't think it happens often. I tried to beat Dynadot with their own API many times. I know others trying the same dozens of times. It didn't work out.

Snapnames/Dropcatch. No way.

 

[golan]

@FPForum You could not even bother replying to this bunch of nonsense, let alone spending so much of your precious time for such long excuses ^^. We all know you are right, and this nonsense just isn't worth your time. You'd better spend this time on bringing us new cool features, so we'll continue grabbing great domains with your software. Let ignorant people argue with themselves.

 

[Cdomains]

@AEProgram

Just like the other guy @itaa - you have never even seen this software and never tried it.

You are making a comment on something you have absolutely no knowledge about.

Would you rate a movie you have never seen?

Would you recommend a restaurant you have never eaten in?

You are just a hater who is trying to stir things up.

Give the software a try first before you start making comments like that.

 

[HDmarketing]

This software will not beat a drop catching registrar that is after a domain.

You should re-read your first post: you were mentionning "registrars". Now you are mentionning "drop catching registrars". To me, these are two completely different things.

Snapnames, Namejet, Dropcatch, Pool... are dropcatching registrars and it's true DesktopCatchers will never beat their hundreds of registrars. But @FPForum never pretended that. He constantly warns that his software won't beat Pro backordering companies. I DEFY YOU TO FIND ANY QUOTE OF @FPForum STATING HIS SOFTWARE BEATS ONE OF THE BIG BACKORDERING COMPANIES or stop treating him a liar.

Dynadot and Pheenix are not in the same league as those above. It happens from time to time that DesktopCatchers beats them. Maybe you're right in thinking it's only because they are having a temporary glitch (eventhough I think your reasoning is flawed, because if Dynadot is broken, how come I catch domains with their own API ?)

Anyway, I reported such succesful catching myself by private email to @FPForum a few days ago, just because I wanted to thank him for the good job he made with the software!!! It's only fair if he mentions things like that can happen in his posts, because it's the truth.
