Title: Strategies for Obtaining Expired Domains
Post by: arour4ip on Feb 20, 2024, 12:43 AM
How can one acquire an expired domain?
There was an expectation for a certain domain to be released, but even after two days, it is still occupied. Isn't this a form of deception?

One common method for acquiring an expired domain is to use a domain drop-catching service. These services specialize in monitoring domain expirations and attempting to register domains as soon as they become available. They often use specialized software and infrastructure to increase their chances of successfully registering expired domains.

In some cases, if a domain has expired but is still occupied, it could be due to the domain owner renewing the registration at the last minute. This is not necessarily a form of deception, as domain owners have the right to renew their domains within a grace period after expiration.

If you're set on acquiring a specific expired domain, it's important to be persistent and patient. Keep a close watch on the domain's status and be prepared to act quickly when it becomes available. Additionally, consider using backordering services offered by domain registrars, which can help increase your chances of securing the domain when it becomes available.

I can tell you that a new set of domains is set to be released today after 5 p.m. The exact list of these domains will become available after 12:15 p.m. A little tip for you - at 4:58 p.m., you can start preparing to register the domains. This is a great opportunity to secure a good domain name before others do, especially if you try to register from multiple registrars simultaneously, as their registration speeds may vary.

Keep in mind that if a domain is valuable and has desirable characteristics, many others will also be eyeing it. If you don't take part in the bidding for the released domains, chances are you won't be able to secure the domain you want. So, be prepared to act fast and strategically to grab the domain you like.

When it comes to ordering the registration of a domain that is about to be released, it's important to note that the Russian registry doesn't register domains at the drop hour; they only process requests for vacated domains. This means that any claims of being able to register a domain right at the drop hour are misleading and deceptive.

The situation can be described as lacking transparency and attempting to feign knowledge about the registration process. Is there a way to verify the accuracy of such claims?

That's the shady side of the domain biz showing its ugly face. Sure, there's a redemption period and all that jazz, but let's be real - some registrars or domain squatters play dirty, holding onto names longer than they should or using sneaky drop-catch bots to swipe it before you even blink. Deception?

Hell yeah, it can feel like a straight-up scam when the system's rigged against the little guy. Dig into the WHOIS records to see who's hogging it, and if it stinks of foul play, call out the registrar on their BS. Set a backorder, but don't hold your breath - this domain game is a cesspool of shady tactics.
