The chances of you grabbing drops that NameJet, Snap, or Pool miss is very slim.

I started reading about this. It seems that these companies have a lot of resources as opposed to individuals like us. I'm interested in knowing what these resources are?

Dozens of different ICANN accredited registrars controlled by them slamming the registry with requests to register the name the moment it drops, I'd think.

Many names never even get deleted after expiry. The big backordering companies each have contracts with several "partner registrars." The partner registrars hand the expired names they control over to backordering company to get auctioned before they ever become available to hand register again.

Thanks for the reply. So anyone with ~100 servers at their finger tips can compete with them?

Nah what you need is registrar credentials If you have 100 registrars working for you then you would be in a good position.

No, you would need to have a bunch of ICANN accredited registrars either of your own or other companies that are willing to work with you. If I remember correctly, the registries allow each registrar to send a certain number of requests to them at a time, so the more registrars you have control over, the more likely you are to hit the registry at the right moment the domain drops and grab the domain.

100 servers pounding away at a registrar's interface/API isn't the same. The bottleneck will be the connections of the one registrar you're going through.

what happens to those decent names at tdnam that don't get bid on, but then they do not fall to the closeout auction?

Thats horrible, so even if you backorder, you have no chance of a good name? Trying to understand

Some names do not drop, they are available at registrar auctions first (snapnames, namejet, tucows, tdnam).

GoDaddy's auctions are a bit complex. Last time I tried tracking the tdnam domains that didn't get bids - the domains never dropped. They got reworked into other tdnam auctions & cycled around. There may be a slim chance that a domain 'may' become available for a brief moment while transferring between partner auction houses, but tdnam I think keeps their names within their own auctions. I may be mistaken.

Is this legal?

 

[Kate]

Is this legal?

Read the terms and conditions of your registrar.

I think it is legit.

And all these 3 company specially Snapnames do auction before they delete and it say it is coming for auction pri bid it.

That time i think they are trying to grab that name, or might be they already successed in them .

I notice with Pool.com they are not able to get many names in LLL.COm compare to Snapnames.

So there is also a big race beetween that big guys, so don't think we can go ahead or stay in competition.
