With an idea of existing traffic and indexed pages you can make more informed decisions regarding your domain purchases. You can read more about the Domain Nabber Service on our blog or start nabbing.

It's a nice idea, but GoDaddy offers backorders for $8.99 apiece and uses a dozen registrars to attempt to capture each domain. If you can offer backorders for less than $8.99 each, then you will earn the right to claim your backorder service is the "most affordable".

One registrar against tens of competitors ?
Good luck. Even godaddy has a few subregistrars in the game.

Good luck catching a drop against all those! :lol: And that's just eNom. Many other registrars have similar multi-registrar setups.

I believe this is a good move for name.com.

For a backorder fee, it is not bad at all - maybe not the cheapest as pointed out, but it gives us another chance at catching the names we want on the drop. There are many domains I feel are worth $15 - $40 to catch. With namejet, Snapnames & Pool's fees starting at $59+, they are out of the question.

Maybe this move will allow drop catchers to catch good names that go under the radar & can be an additional tool to use in your regular drop catching. Name.com also offers .in registrations among other extensions that are not sought after by the big boys yet. It will be interesting if they can extend the service & drop lists for all the extensions they support.
