Who is domibot?

[irishmat]

I keep coming up against domibot, who are they?

loads of expiring domains i watch end up in the clutches of domibot and its beginning to frustrate me

they have a site domibot.com but it doesnt give any clues

if anyone knows who they are i would love to know, or if anyone knows how they are snapping these names up so quickly

I was wondering too.
I noticed that this company (?) is grabbing all the dropping names I want o
They use a registrar called CAPITOLDOMAINS, LLC (http://www.capdom.com/). I don't know if they actually operate that registrar.

They act in the same fashion as domaincar, that is they test the names for traffic for a few days then may release some.
They have actually just released one name and I grabbed it one hour ago so don't despair o

 

[irishmat]

how are you monitoring the domains as i havent found a decent way to monitor and try and grab domains

 

[Kate]

EDIT: I've just grabbed a second name today, that they released :hehe:

 

[smub]

yes i was amazed by this too ... they were taking in all the nice names

but then i said they are a big company ... and they can do that ... and i just walked away lol

I think it is our fellow member Legend.Name i am not sure, but seems like... maybe he can confirm himself

Or maybe its not him, just saw domibot.com in one of his domain's WHOIS, but that isn't really an evidence

I am sorry if i am wrong.

More info on these extortionists: www.domibot.info
Sometimes in their whois info it says they are based in venezuela but the address looks wrong to me.I know where the place is but the only thing in that area is houses.

Wow. domibot.info is a great source of information. Watch domibot go UDRP on domibot.info to try to get it

 

[sker]

They even snatched up my domain and its variants, only to drop it back within 5 days.

Luck me. I disgust them.

the whois at that time shows off address in Venezuela.

I think they also offer drop catching services.

# Domibot has about 500 typosquatted domains based on "Microsoft" alone!
# Domibot was Domaincar, which was Unasi, Inc.
# Domibot claims to be from Venezuela, Panama, Argentina, and perhaps other countries.
# Domibot registers their domains through Capitol Domains, LLC (a subsidiary of dotregistrar.com, which is in turn a subsidiary of Dotster).

Bloody Hell, they launch terror attack on Microsoft.
Any dotster.com supporters here ??

I would consider myself a Dotster supporter, sker. I (happily) host with them. No idea about this, though...
