• Dropcatch.com - best approach for catching domain

  So, I'm wondering if we follow it on dropcatch.com - is that a good way to "catch" it? Or if I search it, will it be the same story as with godaddy i.e. It will just highlight demand for the name? Source: 6 months ago

• logmywalks.com listed on dropcatch auction for $59 bid

  Listed on dropcatch.com auction $59 starting bid no reserve. Source: 10 months ago

• My personal list of where to find quality domains for cheap

  DropCatch.com — If you know a domain is about to expire (from Expired Domains or elsewhere) then you can backorder it for free. If nobody else has placed a backorder, you’ll get the domain for $59, otherwise it will enter a short auction where you have to bid against others. Source: 10 months ago

• Is someone trying to scam me with an offer of a domain I'm interested in?

  You should backorder the domain if you can, if it's at GoDaddy then backorder at godaddy. If somewhere else, then backorder at namejet.com, dropcatch.com, and catches.io. Source: 12 months ago

• Another noob webhosting ask.

  The expiring domain will first have a 30 day redemption period, and then further delays before it is dropped. If the name is anything potentially of value, the name will be re-registered by someone hoping to profit off of it. I'd recommend using a drop-catch firm to attempt to register it when it is dropped. I have used dropcatch.com with good results before. Source: over 2 years ago

• GoDaddy stole my domain before I renewed it, can I do anything?

  If you do a WHOIS lookup on the domain (usually at lookup.icann.org), then it should tell you the current registrant. There should be an email address or a way of contacting the current registrant. You may need to also go to the registrar where it's currently registered to contact them. But it's an ICANN requirement/rule that there MUST be a way to contact the current registrant through email or a form. Source: 10 months ago

• How do I keep my domain name?

  Did you try doing a search on whois/lookup? Doing so, you will be able to see if your domain name is now handled by a different registrar. If that turns up no helpful results & the company you originally leased the domain name from was accredited by ICANN; it may be worthwhile to reach out on their support page. Source: 10 months ago

• Just got this in the mail

  If you follow some of the whois information from https://lookup.icann.org/ for the domain the email is associated with (www.yourconcernedfriends.org) you can find an address in Reykjavik. Googling that address shows MULTIPLE lawsuits and warnings about various scams. Source: 11 months ago

• Have you heard of this ? Potential scam ;

  It's probably a very new website, you can check the age using WHOIS info: https://lookup.icann.org/. Source: 12 months ago

• Does its a scam of selling or making an investment at Trouva Mall and using cryptocurrency?

  In the future, you can use https://lookup.icann.org/ to check unfamiliar websites. If they're than a year old or registered for less than a year, those are red flags. Source: 12 months ago
