I see this kind of stuff happening all the time; some of them being high-profile sites too (e.g. "Keep America Great" got taken from Trump). Is there some website that monitors domain expiration and sends out alerts or is this mostly lone-actors? I'm always surprised by how quickly they move in on the domain
- folli 6y agoIt's called Domain drop catching or Domain sniping. There are tools available that do just that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_drop_catching https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_drop_catching
- wrs 6y agoThere are many such services, which will not only alert you but automatically try to buy the domain for you. Search for “domain backorders”.
- y-c-o-m-b 6y agoOh wow even GoDaddy provides the service. Interesting. Thanks!
- lostlogin 6y agoKeeping it classy as always.
- sixothree 6y agoI would assume that would just give them more information for their domain broker services to raise the price of the domain.
- jfrunyon 6y agoSure, but so does doing a whois or an NS check. Plenty of registrars and registries are known to have abused such data in the past.
- eli 6y agoyeah but all the good ones are automatically reregistered way faster than you could click the Buy button.
