Hello, I had this question in mind for some time and I wanted to ask here since this happened again.
On a several occasions already, after I search for available domains on the registrar's page (Namesilo) and check back a day or a few days later this same domain is registered already. And when I check the who is data, it shows the domain was registered shortly after my search( on the same day at least).
So, my main question is: Am I right to think that there is some domain snatching occurring somewhere in the background at the registrar or it is just a coincidence (happening several times already) and I shouldn't worry about that?
I thought Namesilo was a decent registrar and if they are doing something to monitor the searches and grab good domains that would be really disappointing. I've heard such domain snatching was a common thing at Godaddy, but was hoping it's not happening at Namedillo, as I have most of my domains registered with them.
Also, is there a reliable way to search for available domains without triggering snatchers or similar shady practices? Is there a tool, website or method that is safe regarding your domain search activity?
I would really appreciate any advice on that matter.
