Handregs that someone grabbed minutes before you

[33S]

Have you been in a situation when you sit down to do some research to find good handregs, find a few good names, then you go look where you can register them for less at the moment, put the names into the registrar and find out someone has already registered the name, the name you thought was going to be yours.

Mine is TokenDoctor.com

not even sure if that's good :P. frankly.net sold for 4k, so the .com must've been a solid thing. But .org would be the next bet. . . Info? Idk.

For just 1$ its worth trying

I used to make almost all my income from Thailand related websites 2003-2013. Have had some good Thailand related domain sales as well ($xxxx each). However, Thailand is "Thaïlande" in French!

I can just add that Thailand.se (the domain alone) sold for more than 50,000 dollars a few years ago. But "Thailand" is also the correct spelling in Swedish.

Great, then you should know thailand.ly is available (Japan too).

+300,000 Swedes travels to Thailand each year but very few Libyans.

Should've been syrianholidays

SyriaHolidays is better and the good thing is I grabbed it on time.

Yes, it was very curious, I was already semi dreaming reading about Google remaning in Alphabet etc.
And suddenly decided to reg some alphabet related domain, so I check it from my mobile and it was aviable for reg fee.
I just needed less than 1 min to go to my PC (it is always turned on) and log into my Namesilo.
Less than 1 min!!! And it was regged.
I thought it was bug, so I checked the reg date and it was today, a few minutes before me!!

But there is no any service in Syria, all syrian already in Europe

It happened to me differently. I was looking at a frequent used robot domain name. As i search , the domain was available. Leaving my comp for several minutes, then i typed in the domain name to buy., unfortunately i miss typed a should be letter Z was typed as S. I realized this error after ordering. Again i created a new purchase, for the correct spelling version. Unfortunately this time it had been registered. Couple of days later, i contacted the new owner, if he would want to sell, the reply was a USD 10 k price, which of course i wouldn't buy. One year later , i won this domain in Godaddy expiration auction.

Lol, how tf is this happening to you guys! ? Minutes after you find the name! ? Huhhhh!?!?!

The names are usually under privacy.

 

[Criterion811]

in some cases,
you can receive a "domain available" when it is not,
it happened to me several times,
and when you check the whois, you find that the domain was registered months ago

i think this happen, when some domain are listed on some marketplace for sale,
and there are some bugs with registrar telling you is this available to handreg,
when it is available as a premium sale on marketplace

This happened to me just the other night on an insanely good name (so good I can't remember) that came to me minutes before I went to bed. Said it was available on GD but once I clicked 'add to basket' it wasn't available. Gutted!

 

[Tunababa8v]

I had Agrobitcoin.com available for registration and after three days I tried to register it but it had been registered that same day. The person didn't stop at that, he went ahead and registered Agribitcoin.com also..

The same thing happened with Hotelmiami.org.

So yeah, I don't trust registrars again

 

[Tunababa8v]

And this also, qah.info. I was keeping it till I got a good promo code but some snapped it up

The Old Godaddy Platform use to be Great for this , No research required type in a keyword and it use to suggest names that people typed and din't check out you have to go with your gut. Business is all about taking calculated risk if you wanna play safe you are better off getting a 9 til 5. $10 Bucks seems to be a small Risk there is something immoral about abandoning your own Gut and intuitions the most successful Business minds all take huge Risks sometimes you win sometimes not However this doesn't mean going on a fools errand and registering whatever comes to mind obviously.

I remember back during the .tv goldrush of 2010, I was beaten to so many names that later went on to sell for thousands or more each. Seems others also had the bright idea of writing an API tool.

Did they remove it just for domainers?

Not sure why they removed it bro, I use to register dozens of domains this way it was brilliant, the best suggestion tool by a mile, as it wasn't just domainers typing names and forgetting to check out some end users were and days after you register a domain via a suggestion you had end users chasing for it willing to pay 10 x..those were the days of quick flips it was one of my strategies. In any event Godaddy no longer does it no more easy pre cooked soup for domainers you have to do the cooking yourself

Happens everytime, but recent one was painful.
Had the name on checklist, then next day when I wanted to reg it GONE.
Registered and already published on BRANDBUCKET for 3k.
Man it took me a while to get over this trauma.

This is problem with DG sometimes, you search some name and it shows available ( but someone might have registered the name way before) but when you click add to basket, it goes away.

As an update to this thread, the other day I bought

Casino.club

From namecheap. I couldn't believe it hadn't been reg'd. I paid and got through checkout, chuffed with myself, and then an error message came up. I got in touch with them and the name had been reg'd already but they still let me get all the way through checkout and payed before I knew this. I got my money back etc. but it was an anti-climax. Be careful.

This used to happen to me all the time at GoDaddy when trying to handreg drops from the day before. I'd get all the way through to confirmation but they could've been snatched by snapnames, etc. first. Still showed as available in GD. Annoying.

 

[bluemeteor]

Not minutes though, I had this litechanger in my list for a few days. As I'm new and hesitate. Now it's registered. I think I actually like this name, cos it sounds like life changer

 

[dgmweb]

Haha, all the time. "KosherCrypto" comes to mind...
