Hello All,

I want to dropcatch a .com. I just checked ICANN for the "big three": DropCatch has 1501 registrars, SnapNames has 98, and Gname has 501.

I have accounts with all three of them. My question is: If I use Gname's dropcatch Channel 1 to backorder a domain, will it definitely backorder the domain on DropCatch too (under the username "first1" as discussed before on NamePros).

I used Gname's Channel 1 last year, and it successfully caught a domain for me via SnapNames. So I know Channel 1 may invoke SnapNames. I also saw discussions on NamePros that mentioned that Channel 1 may invoke DropCatch (so it's supposed to be a bad idea to backorder a domain at both Gname and DropCatch, resulting in an auction against oneself).

The ideal scenario is: Gname's Channel 1 will definitely backorder a domain at DropCatch (regular backorder, not Discount Club) and SnapNames and also use Gname's own 501 registrars. In that case, I would just backorder a domain with Channel 1.

What is your recent experience with Gname? Will it definitely invoke DropCatch and SnapNames?

Best Regards,
New Cat
