Snapnames, Pool, GoDaddy ?

:?​

What is the best site to reg a dropping domain name? I already know about Snapnames, Pool, GoDaddy. Are there any others which don't charge or don't auction?

Actually it depends on what extension you're looking at. I usually use GoDaddy for .us and .info domains...

Thanks for your reply!

I really want a LLLL.com which is expiring in a couple of weeks. I am trying at GoDaddy, Snapnames, and Pool to get this name, but would like to try elsewhere if there are any more. Does anyone know of any others?

Also I was wondering what happens if GoDaddy get a dropped name for me, does it go into TDNAM auction with a bid or is it mine there and then?

For an LLLL.com the best option is Enom, Snapnames and Pool.

If it's registered at dotster go to NameWinner.
If it's registered at Network Solutions you'll only need to backorder it at Snapnames.

You might also want to take a look at NameWinner.com, which is a drop service from Dotster.com

If it's a pure drop, definately load up at eNom, Snapnames, and Pool.

If it's a "pre drop", you'll want to go to the preferred partner registrar. Snapnames gets almost all the good ones (because they are get all of Network Solutions, Register.com, Moniker, and several other comany's pre-release names), but a few do go through eNom, TDNam (for GoDaddy and associates), and Namewinner (for Dotster) as well.

If it was a GoDaddy "pre drop", it will go through TDNam even if you backorder it. Doing so just tips people off to it (because it shows up with a bid) so, if it does go TDNam, you'd be better off waiting until less than a minute to go in the auction to make a bid.
