The Domain Game

[tennis24]

Hi,

I can honestly say that I have not paid much attention to the domain game. Meaning, when registrars like a GoDaddy or Enom have names that are going to expire (not be renewed) rather than lose them, they try to "auction" them to other users. My question is a company like SnapNames, I don't be that they are a registrar so are the only "snapping" up names that folks who don't renew and therefore got through the "auction process" with current registrar and if not taken, fall out to the open public and then SnapNames can ONLY take them at that time?

Thanks,
Brian

Snapnames... reges all the names they auction off,They can not sell what they don't already own,Law wont allow it,TDNAM on the other hand does have an auction area for names that have yet to completly drop,This is simply a method of back order so to speak,And those names are at godaddys reg aswell.
