Domain Tasting

[OddTop]

Does anyone know the status of domain tasting? Which registrars still allow it? What are the fees?

I have looked on several registrars but they have no information on their sites.

I order about 20 domains a day, and want to cancel the orders of about 5 domains a day, what is the best place to do this? A 1-2 dollar fee is okay with me.

Thank you very much!

dynadot allows you to delete a domain. I'm not sure how much money you get back though.

domain tasting is really frowned upon and has been almost eliminated lately. ICANN | The End of Domain Tasting

domain tasting is dead unless you are a big registrar.

We charge a $1 fee on our Star program at RegBird for returning a domain during the grace period. However, this feature's main purpose is for getting a refund on accidental registrations. For example if you made a spelling mistake, etc.

Godaddy will let you return a domain as well for free I believe. But again, this is for unintentional mistakes and such during registration. Domain tasting itself is really frowned upon by most registrars. Any customers doing this are at risk of losing the ability to refund future domains or even worse, possibly get your account suspended depending upon the registration provider.
