    Due diligence on process of buying domain

    Hi, I'm in the process of acquiring a domain name from a third party. Just to make sure I'm up to speed on the process I have a couple of questions: 1. What escrow service would people recommend (it's a GBP transaction)? I've seen https://www.transpact.com/ get recommended here before. 2...

    Newby: best way to grab an expiring domain

    Cheers fellas. It's a really good community you've got here and everyone's been super-helpful, but I definitely don't reckon I'm in the gang - at least not enough to make a difference :)

    LOL, I'd draw the line at cold, hard cash thanks :p I can't see that posting the domain name would do anything other than increase exposure around it so I'd rather not go there tbh. I got a back-up domain, which isn't ideal, but it's not the end of the world; I just need to move on.

    Newby: best way to grab an expiring domain

    As a developer I'm aware of .uk domains, and if I was pushing forward with a decent sized brand, it would make sense to pick up the pair, but I'd not even considered it stand-alone as I don't feel like they have the same 'clout' as .co.uk's, certainly not at the moment. Maybe in future it'll be...

    The .uk was registered by the same person who bagged the .co.uk, on the same date. It hadn't been registered before.

    Sure, sorry, I didn't mean to annoy - just frustrated I guess. I've put in an offer of high £££ but don't hold out much hope - I can only afford what I can afford.

    Newby: best way to grab an expiring domain

    This is all really helpful, thanks! I don't think the domain was popular at all as I didn't back order it until mid December and I was the only back-order in the places I tried. Most of the other TLDs for the domain are still available too. Just a shame that dropped.uk and Daily failed and I...

    Thanks, so literally if I went to any of the common registrars at 00:00:01 on the 92nd day, it'd be available? If only Nominet could have told me this it'd have saved so much heartache :(. When I was looking for back-ordering services, most of the ones I saw (especially the big ones like...

    Newby: best way to grab an expiring domain

    Hi, I've had my eye on an expiring .co.uk domain since it expired 3 months ago. I was really desperate to secure the domain as I'd got a product it fitted perfectly that I want to push forward this year. Not knowing a great deal about the process or domain catching I did the following...
