Enom.com is the registrar for a particular domain in the .com domain space. Recently, the domain was not renewed and is now under clientTransferProhibited status, consequently being transferred to namejet auction. I have made a bid for the domain and the system confirms that it is my second attempt. However, I am currently awaiting responses from support who directs me to whom I can address questions or simply ignores my requests.
I have a few inquiries regarding the domain acquisition process:
1) Apart from auctions, is there any other way to acquire a domain?
2) When will the namejet auction for this domain start?
3) Can I bid for the same domain in other auctions or will that cause the price to increase and not be worth it?
4) I am unfamiliar with the namejet auction format. How does it work?
Additionally, I have never worked with namejet before and I am interested to know when the real-time auction for the specific domain I am bidding on will commence.
In the case where a domain name has been renewed, the only option available is to purchase it directly from the owner. Seeking support for this issue is not useful as the domain does not belong to them and they cannot put it up for auction due to the high demand.
I think discussions about numbers and dates on forums are irrelevant unless the domain name has been mentioned. There is no way to validate if the correct numbers have been shared or if there are errors.
If an enom domain is in the "Wish List" status, it can mean two things: either the auction has already happened, or there will not be one as the domain was extended. If the domain is in Pre-Release status, the same applies, and there are currently two possible scenarios: one, the user has successfully bid on the domain, and the auction will begin shortly, or two, the process is still ongoing.
Due to my inability to renew my domain, *****.com on time from my hosting provider, the domain has now been placed under the "whois" status with registrar WHOIS Server: whois.enom.com and Registrar URL: http://www.enom.com.
I have some queries regarding the domain and its auction process:
1) If I search for my domain on the site http://www.enom.com, will that be regarded as an expression of interest causing the auction period to extend or the price to increase?
2) Could you please provide me with a link to see the list of all the domains available for auction?
3) I am curious about the general rules and terms governing this auction. My hosting provider claims they have no specific rules and generally follow a procedure of 45 days of non-payment before taking any further actions.
1) Apart from auctions, there are a few other ways to acquire a domain. You can try negotiating directly with the current owner, either privately or through a domain broker. Alternatively, you can explore aftermarket marketplaces where domains are listed for sale.
2) The exact start time of a namejet auction for a specific domain is something you would need to find out from namejet or the registrar involved. They should be able to provide you with more information regarding upcoming auctions.
3) Bidding for the same domain in multiple auctions could potentially increase the price, especially if there is competition. It's important to consider your budget and the value of the domain before deciding whether it's worth participating in multiple auctions.
4) Namejet follows an auction format where participants can place bids on domains they're interested in acquiring. The auction typically has a starting bid and a set time frame during which participants can place higher bids. The highest bidder at the end of the auction wins the domain.
To get the most accurate and up-to-date information about the specific domain you are bidding on and the namejet auction process, it is best to reach out to namejet support directly. They should be able to provide you with the details you need.
You can negotiate a direct purchase with the domain owner or their representative, or even explore secondary marketplaces like Sedo or GoDaddy Auctions. Regarding the NameJet auction, it typically starts within 30 days of the domain's expiration, but the exact timing may vary depending on the registrar's policies. You can bid on the same domain in other auctions, but be aware that this may drive up the price. As for the NameJet auction format, it's a real-time bidding system where bidders compete against each other in a live auction.
