Now anyone can catch expiring domain names using a simple desktop computer. As domain name speculators register thousands of domain names each day, a simple desktop application has proven to make life a little easier. April 17, 2006; 01:40 AM Ft. Lauderdale, FL - Each day approximately
twenty thousand domain names expire as a result of the current owner
failing to pay the registration fees. Most of these domain names are
quickly registered the minute they expire. Sitting behind computers are
a countless number of “domain speculators” who anxiously wait for the
domain names to drop. Most have completed their homework and have
studied the past history on the domain names they are seeking. In a
hope to cash in on the pre-existing web traffic, thousands of
“domainers” are monitoring the same names. Each day at 2:00pm Eastern
time, the mad rush begins as domain names begin to drop from the
registry.
Many of these speculators rely on a backorder service such as Pool.com
or Snapnames.com to help them acquire the domain names they are after.
These names are acquired by the registrars and auctioned off to the
highest bidder. The industry has commented that this practice is
unfair, as the individual with the “deepest pockets” will win the
domain name.
In an attempt to level the playing field, a new product was introduced
to the industry several years ago. A company called Dnware.com markets
a domain name grabbing program that allows anyone with a computer the
opportunity to share in the domain name drop business. The program
resides on the users computer and sends repeated requests to several
registrars each second. The minute the domain names becomes available
to the public, they are immediately registered using the software.
Dnware.com has partnered with the registrar Moniker.com to offer this
service. The application has been coded to work with IDN Domain Names
as the interest in Internation Domain Names become more prevelant. When
asked how their product competes with a backorder service the developer
Dan Rubin stated the following:
“We recognize there are thousands of members in the domain community
competing for the same domain names. Often times our software prevails
over the back ordering companies, as they are monitoring large
portfolios for their clients. If one average domain name is acquired
using our software, the small purchase price is quickly justified. The
more resources a domainer has working for them, the better their odds
of obtaining the desired domain name. We wanted to give everyone the
chance to take part in this exciting industry.”
