The last time the results fail. Backorder did but I get the domain manually.
Is having problems?
Is having problems?
What will you be using then?
Even i m trying to find an alternative.
Oh!!I will try and do it on my own. Atleast my software is much better than Pheenix these days
Oh!!
Is it NameCatch.in ?
Or its your own software ?
I would like to know more details on this if you care to share. I can develop it for myself as well or use your service.
True for me too. Pheenix charged less fee though.
Yes.But I take @Violets point they are still more expensive than regfee
Somebody else would have got the domain for sure.But what would have happened if you hadn't backordered at DropCatch also?
50% of the time yes i was the only bidder. Most of the time auction happened in Pheenix. So i prefered DropCatch. but its a huge burn on pocket so i will let off DropCatch and pheenix too.But it seems you were the only bidder, correct? Otherwise you would have been in an action for it. So without your bid, I very much doubt DropCatch would have given a second thought to your domain. Leaving Pheenix the winner.
good question.So who do you use now?
The phenomenon of DropCatch catching over 50% of wanted dropping domains is not a surprise since they have more than 50% of the servers hitting registry at drop time.
unless andrew grabs it for himself. that's the thing about dropcatch.But it seems you were the only bidder, correct? Otherwise you would have been in an action for it. So without your bid, I very much doubt DropCatch would have given a second thought to your domain. Leaving Pheenix the winner.

i try to avoid using dropcatch whenever possible. if a domain goes to auction, its a lost cause as the bids always go above what the domain is worth. its fine if you're the only bidder but if you're not, i'd rather the domain go to snapnames or somewhere else. i wish pheenix would get back on track.That's always a possibility. To counter that possibility, and it's only a possibility, you should ALWAYS enter a DropCatch bid. That way, if Andrew is to be believed, he wont let DropCatch/HugeDomains compete against you. But because DropCatch is so successful, you are faced with paying $59 if you are the only bidder, and considerably more if there are multiple bidders.
Pheenix is doing well this days.
Sometimes their success rate is good.
Today Pheenix caught a nice LLLL.com.
They managed to beat Namejet.com(it had dozens of backorders there), dropcatch.com and Snapnames.com.
All the major drop catchers were beaten.
Probably it will go to an auction soon(hopefully not).
It is true that Pheenix is less successful than the major drop catchers but it catches very nice domains once in a while.
You're likely talking hubx dot com which is auction at Pheenix, correct. Ya they grabbed that today.
As I test I backordered 8 domains that I knew would get caught somewhere. Some LLLL.com, NNNNN.com, 8gv.com etc. Out of the eight I backordered Dropcatch grabbed 6 of them.
It would certainly be amusing to watch the industry cope with 3 (instead of 1) of the major catching services operating on a public auction model; from what I've seen, there are people on here who may need a doctor to help deal with the outrage-induced-stroke that'll bring on.
As for their success rate, based on what I've been watching it's more like 2/3 over the last couple of weeks, but if they position themselves right by competing in the low-price market, they could still stand to do some serious damage to some of the other services (Pheenix, etc).
