GoDaddy backordering ... ppthh

[semohi]

I backordered a name that was registered with them using their own backordering system and they still failed to grab it for me.

hmmm. Godaddy's backorder has always been crappy... Never use them.

I have recently pulled about 7 awesome names from godaddy on backorders. Luck of the draw I guess. If you are going for something you just gotta have then yes probably wise to try other more expensive options, however if you are just looking to pull some good backorders at a cost effective price then it's a flip of the coin and a cheap solution.

I'll have to back GoDaddy up as well. They've come through for me on a number of occasions. They're far from the best but they're not worthless. They caught a one word dictionary .com for me last week.

I guess they have their ups too, but I expect them to at least be able to grab their own names.

Godaddy will NEVER catch a REALLY good name.

Every time I bid the same name at enom and Godaddy,godaddy always failed to catch.

I picked up many very valuable domains with GoDaddy. Their service is not bad, you just have to know when to use them.

The reason you didn't get that domain that was registered with GoDaddy, is probably because it already passed REGISTRAR-HOLD. Once an expired domain passes that status, the registrar gives the domain back to the registry. When that happens it becomes a chance game. And usually the more powerfull services wins. For example, pool.com has more than 70 registrars attempting to backorder a domain, so they get much more than GoDaddy, who I believe is the only registrar who is backordering the domain.

GoDaddy is the 3rd largest registrar, so they have millions of domains registered with them. Because of that many expiring domains were registered with them. Any expired domain that was registered with GoDaddy, you should backorder with them if the domain has not passed REGISTRAR-HOLD. If the domain already passed that status, then try a more powerfull service if you really want the domain.
