How to catch a domain name

monaghan · 01-05-2012, 08:18:48 AM

What to look for varies from person to person!

Decide what you want and what you want to do with them and go for names that meet your requirement.

What are the public drop catching services for .UK domains?

I'm aware of caught.co.uk, domainmonster.com and domainrecover.net - Have I missed any big/reliable ones?

What sort of success rate do you get with the big ones? (Assume the competition would be... competitive!)

Cheers

If you mean back ordering domains with companies like 123 reg, then don't bother, waste of time.

Hi Scott,

I mean say if I backordered a potentially competitive domain at caught.co.uk and domainmonster - is there anywhere else I should (could) also backorder to make it more likely for me to get it.

Cheers.

I've tried using domainmonster and domainwatchlist for two drops and not got either, that's why I ask. Be good to know of more options.

Does anyone know if domainwatchlist.co.uk is still active by the way?

I'm sure they are as i always see them catching good domains.

DM and dwl are very good so you have probably just been unlucky.

Book 20 and if you get 1 surely that's a result.

Try lots of catchers that's what the experts seem to have done in the past.
