Help catching a .com domain that might drop

[philiporchard]

Hi,

I'm looking for advice in catching a .com domain that is might well drop.

It's already been a month or more since the domain expired.

I've never done this before as I normally just trade.

What is the best advice please?

i.e. what are the very best services I can use?

Thanks for your help!

Thanks. Is this likely to pick the domain name? Just wondering if all drocatching platforms are similar?

DropCatch.com is one of the most reliable services for catching expiring .com domains.

Here's a blog post I bookmarked ages ago that makes for a good read and is still getting comments:

It's very dated so I expect the top players have changed, but the techniques they use to extract as much money from you as possible probably haven't.

I may be in the same situation later this year, so please keep us informed about how you get on.

Thanks both! I'll definitely let you know how I get on!

Depending on the registrar, it may not drop - have you checked their post-expiry sales platform ?

I caught 26 .com yesterday with dropcatch.com - providing no else bids, you will win it. If multiple bid - then you go to auction. Make sure you verify your account as you need it for bidding.
