Is there a name grabbing script out there?

[Phrozt]

There's a name that's about to expire that I highly doubt anyone would be interested in, but just to make sure I can grab it... is there some sort of name grabbing script that I could put to use for when it expires??

SnapNames mentioned something about this...

It's not hard to make such a script but with many drop registrars with direct registry connections competing to grab all expiring domains you have no chance. If you think nobody else will be looking after that domain you best bet would be to backorder it.

Scripts are available here: http://www.dnware.com/
No idea if they are still effective.

If it's a premium domain don't expect any kind of script to help you
Try cheaper backordering services like 4domains

I don't think it's a premium domain... it's one for my old CS clan... I just wanted to keep a forum on it incase any of the guys came back and wanted to chat.

But as I suspected.. it would be hard to get even that name because someone at some point ordered it, which means people want to grab it...

Does 4domains reliably work?? I really don't want to cough up $60 bucks for something that's probably not going to be used much...

4domains works better for info

what about a .com?? what would be the best in terms of affordability? How long do I have to wait to see?? It says this domain expired 1/1/07
