Dropping .ca domains

[netklick]

Is there any site that provides updated information on dropping .ca domain names?

Please let me know if this is available anywhere.

Thanks,
NK

I believe the CIRA list receives it's last update sunday. So I always wait till monday before inspecting it.

Thank you so much. Is there a way to backorder them with any registrar if you like any names?

or is it just between 2 PM and 4 PM on Wednesday, everyone just fight for it to see who gets what?

Just trying to see if there is such a thing as snapnames or pool kind of concept for .ca names.

Thank you,
NK

The names are only available to the registrars from 11 am to 11:30 am. After that once the DB updates around 1-2 pm you can then register anything left over.

Each registrar chooses their TBR involvement. Some don't bother at all. Some belong to systems like pool and some go it alone. Cira has a list of registrars. You need to go through them and look at their home page and see if they advertise TBR drops. Or email them they'll tell you how they handle it. Most of them require you to have an account with them to use their TBR process.

BTW I just used "TBR" in google.ca and found a host of registrar articles.

But I will warn you away from myid.ca. They are the biggest bunch of crooks and thieves.. don't ever deal with them.

Pool does .CA

Just to let you all know that Pool.com offers .CA drop services in the TBR. Quite successfully too!

Indeed, but unfortunately they usually end up quite expensive there as well. Often the auction end there will end higher than the pre-bids at other places. And if you are the only bidder you have to pay the $60 - even for a domain only worth $20! jsyk!

Yeah, Pool snagged me 7 of 10 domains I was interested in from the most recent drop yesterday. Auctions kick in now. We'll see what the prices end up like...
