Gname or DropCatch + SnapNames?

[newcat]

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

Actually, my original post probably already answered its own question. I said Gname's backorder channel 1 successfully caught a domain (.com) for me last year via SnapNames. If channel 1 always invokes DropCatch, the actual dropcatcher that caught the domain would most likely have been DropCatch rather than SnapNames.

So, to make sure DropCatch is involved, I should directly use DropCatch (1501 registrars) and SnapNames (98 registrars) in the future, right?
