Bought a new .io domain through sedo last week a NN.io , bit of an investment and gamble but worth a shot in my opinion.

Anyone investing in .io domains? please feel free to share your investments.

Cheers

I know that he coded his own dropcatching system. Somehow I don't see that being something just anyone could do...

Not true. He has to BO at Nic like everyone else.

I'm like 90% sure that's not the only way to get an expiring .io.

Regardless, he's a tool. Need proof? Check out his trucker hat.

It's the only way. An exclusive BO at nic is it.

There is no reason to ever use Park...

Actually, each registrar is free to deal with expirations in any manner they see fit. If it so happens to get picked up prior to being released to the general public, it's fair game according to nic.io.

I'm talking about deleting domains. He gets them the same way we all do. If it's an expired auction at a registrar, again, he plays by the same rules as everyone.

 

[mike2100]

how can we know the pending delete .IOs to BO them before anyone else ?

Actually Park.io has reseller access to nic.io which anyone can grant access too application here - http://www.nic.io/applyinstrs.html; The names that are not back ordered directly through nic.io and caught through Park.io system is done through api access through the nic.io reseller program.

When a backorder is processed Park.io script pings the nic.io registry with a EPP code - Extensible Provisioning Protocol key which tells nic.io which names to process for order. Since his script is setup through API to Ping the registry at the time of drop a Ping can execute in milliseconds; typically can execute and process the order every millisecond so the registry can be pinged 20-30x within a second at the time of drop ensuring Park.io the domain - This beating manual registration process.

If the domain is already backordered this means Park.io may have already took the back order so he is guaranteed the drop in case anyone else will look at his list and Bo it before he does.

When you place an order with Park.io your domain is not in your account; it's always held under Park.io nic.io registry account Simply changing the whois on the domain to match the Purchasers name; which in my opinion is terms of invalid whois since not in correct owners registry account. But it is what it is..

To collaborate a little more; think about what that means, he can control the whois, renewal dates, and renewal prices which he charges 3 months in advance for around $69-75, He could take his service down and All this purchasers names are under his registry account. He could literally shut down his service and Run and take everyones names. I'm sure this won't happen or would be an issue but anything is a possibility.

He would be sued heavily for theft if he ran with domains.

His BO service only works for junk. Anything worthwhile is going to be BO by people like you and I. It's silly to use his service IMO.

 

[Jason.tv]

his site displays the domains of drops, this was no way to go against his service - I was just trying to explain the process of how the automated system works.

 

[Keith]

Ah ah.

Dummies.io is on his drop list. You can BO right now at nic and he can't get it, you will. That's my point. He's hoping people BO with him instead of nic which just means the people are ignorant.

 

[mike2100]

yes but he has already back ordered every valuable domain in his list ,I checked most of the good ones for the next 10 days , you can find very few that has'nt BOed yet ,

but names like wireless.io which is in his auction now IMO you can't beat him with those very valuable names ,
so that's why I'm asking : is there any another source(other than park.io) for drop list .io domains ??

He was beat for wireless.io and gets beat on many more.

In order to get ahead you need to put the time in. It seems like you and Shane want Mike to provide you first dibs at premium domains. It doesn't work that way at Park or any other service.

I don't use park.io.

Not because it's a ripoff, which it is, but because I refuse to give HIM my money.

I don't use it because there's no need. Has nothing to do with money or individuals.

I saw Wireless.io in park.io list , checked it and it was already BOed , then I saw it at the auction , so i thought he owned the domain

so there's no one provides the .io drop list ?
to sum up : you gotta "random search" for domains you like the are in Redemption Grace Period and BO them from nic.io ? is that right ?

 

[S-B]

The funny part is I found an epic name expiring that wasn't even on his list. Decided to back order it with NIC because contacting the owner would result in a renewal. Normally that'd be ok but the owner is in the tech field and has worked with some of the top companies in the US.

Side note, the NIC system is shady.

 

[arslan riaz]

have very brand able 3L.io list ...it is not heard to find 3L.io name

I haven't used it yet , but the "don't pay till you got the domain" is something good for a begginer like me ,
nic.io will not refund u if the owner renew the domain

It's a gamble. I hate it but even if I back order 10 domains and only get one it's generally worth it if you're only ordering the best.

It's just a matter of searching and being first. The no refund policy sucks but it is what it is.

you're right , I imagine if I'm the one who got wireless.io :D

 

[morf13]

Fantastic. Mike is successful because he hoards domains he catches with his platform. Imagine if NameJet did didn't even let the good names hit auction. People would riot. Instead -- people like you -- commend him and give him credit for his insight. Backwards AF.

Forget Mike for a second, I went out and found available,good .IO domains,registered and sold them. I've sold several for $400-$700,not a bad return on investment for the $32 each,or course,I regged some I regret as well,but have a better feel for the good names that I reg now. My point is, Mike doesn't own,or have tied up,every good .IO domain ever created,there are others to be had

My only point is that believing a hype man about a market that he directly profits from is silly. I'm not saying it's a bad market in any way.

 

[Haris]

Received a $350 offer through GD Domain Buy service on a one word .io.. I only own 2 .io's.

The keyword is not popular but is good for a tech related site, not sure how much should I counter with.
