what time of the day do .co.uk's drop?

[DarkSky]

will be spending 15th March waiting for a domain to drop, shouldnt be any competition.

What time of the day if any do they normally drop? or even am or pm?

cheers

The drops can happen at any time between midnight tonight and midnight tomorrow night, drops are completely random over the 24 hours of each day.

damn thought that might be the case

no sleep for me then most likely lol.

thanks

If it's important for you - and so you can at least get some sleep - why don't you book it with one of the drop catchers? Shouldn't cost more than £30 or £40.

Yep. If it's a half decent name that will appeal to others, there's very little chance of you being able to hand reg it.

Of course, you're right, but having fallen on tough times recently, I really cant afford even 30 or 40 to spend on this.

I'll take my chances, wish me luck

Fair enough, let us know how you get on.

See if it is booked at caught.co.uk or domainmonster.com - if it is, you don't stand a chance of hand regging it, so you might as well book it with a dropcatcher, or forget it and get some sleep.

Reluctant to check the domain on those sites, it's possible they monitor the submissions and catch them knowing there's someone interested in it

Wow, putting your head in the lions mouth there, saying something like that here.

Do you have any evidence to back that up?

I can see why he's saying it though, it's happened before with some of the US registrars in the past – might still be going on.

But yes, both of those are respected companies so highly, highly unlikely, tbh.

P.S. Caught.co.uk is owned by an Acorn member.

perhaps I should have said "those [kind of] sites". Nothing was meant personally. No offence meant to anyone, if they are involved with the sites mentioned, I know nothing of them or any other drop catching service.

I'm just being cautious.

 

[Rob_F]

Has it dropped? Did you manage to reg it?

[ratboy]

You'd rather sit hand regging the name all day than pay £30?

I've heard everything now.

@ Rob, I saw on another topic that he didn't get it, a catcher on here caught it.

Cheers for that.

Unlucky DarkSky, hope you manage to find a suitable alternative.

[boxerdog]

what was the name ?

If you don't really have £30 to spare, and sleep can be boring... sorry for being poor lol.

 

[DarkSky]

Cheers for that.
