Great idea, how do you find recently dropped domains?
- binarysolo 14y agoWould love to know this too -- and am curious how the players in the market end up snatching these sites.
- thinkdevcode 14y agoCheck my reply to the article as I provide a source for domain lists.
- jnazario 14y agoupdate .com TLD zone maps? look for the ones that got removed ... that's my guess.
- RileyJames 14y agoCouple of sources. http://www.freshdrop.net/ http://www.freshdrop.net/ & http://www.premiumdrops.com/ http://www.premiumdrops.com/ both require subscription, but the data is pretty good.
- sejje 14y agogodaddy has some on their ftp: ftp://ftp.godaddy.com/ It includes member auctions etc. I'd guess other services have similar?
- HNaTTY 14y agoI think the more important question is, how do you find domains that are about to expire? I don't know what the domain hoarders do but here is what I do. I discovered that pool.com maintains a list of domains that are set to expire. I download and filter the list and then email myself a list of domains that match my requirements (.coms under a certain length, no numbers or other funny characters, maybe .coms with a specific word in them). I actually just wrote this script, it had been on my to-do list for over a year. The daily email contains hundreds of domains so I might have to filter it more. https://gist.github.com/3914495 https://gist.github.com/3914495 Here's my script, it only uses PHP to get tomorrow's date, otherwise it's standard linux utilities like wget, egrep, unzip, cut, sed... I have it set up as a daily cron job. I'm interested in suggestions on how to snipe/reserve/etc domains as soon as they become available.
