I think I did ok considering this was my first domaining experience. Some of the ones below have good potential. Where I think I erred is that I didn't get good generics, though it wasn't for lack of trying. The first problem was that most of the good generics are reserved. The auctions for the generics should be exciting, and will truly give us an idea of what our domains are worth. I don't think I'll be a player in those auctions...well, maybe I'll pickup one or two if I see value.
As far as the domain companies that I went through, here is my experience...
DomainTheNet.com (Israel)
: I found this hidden gem a few months ago. They only allowed one customer to register per name, and for a couple of weeks I had my pick of dot mobis. 80% of the domains below were acquired through DomainTheNet. One problem I ran into was that they processed my domains in order of entry. As I was requesting the domains, I got better at finding high value words, so my high value requests were near the back of the list and had no chance of getting registered.
EuroDNS.com (france) :td: :td: :td: I entered around 80 domains into EuroDNS prior to landrush before I realized that they were charging my credit card. In addition, if they were unsuccessful at registering the domain for me, I had two options (neither of which I liked):
1) Receive credit towards future registrations
2) Receive money back with a 5% processing fee (this would have cost me around $300)
After noticing the charges on my credit card, I fought them for a couple of weeks to get reimbursed, which they did very 'reluctantly'. Companies shouldn't charge you until they actually obtain the product for you!
Communigal.com :td: This site held an auction for domain names before the land rush. I entered around 300 domains ranging in price from $79 to $279. Communigal was only able to register 1 of my domains.
Hostway.com :td: Request over 250 domains, received 1 of them!
Dotster.com
Requested around 100 high-value domains, obtained 2...
