Unless you have thousands of computer and millions of dollars to compete with pool, snapnames, namesjet, chances are the names you pick up would be the ones that nobody wants anyway.

Yep to what flybuzz said. You can probably get by with only hundreds of computers but it's going to cost you beau coup bucks to compete effectively. Also realize plenty of domains never really "drop" due to the exclusive arrangements between auctioneers and registries.

Anyway, the auctioners still couldn't take 100% names, even there's 1% left, there're a lot, why not have a try? I'm also curious about this. Anyone have good ideas?

Agree, no harm in trying -- and it might be a heck of a lot of fun. I didn't keep links but have seen a number of free and commercial packages available on the net. Search here and on yahoo for the software (maybe keywords; domain, drop and software?). Post back how it goes.

Cheers,

With cloud computing these days, you can spin up a lot servers easily. And you pay only for the hour ~19c per hour. I think its possible to compete with the big folks.

Agreed. You would only have to pay during the drop hours anyways.

did u mean software or service?
creating a software which keeps on trying to register a name using one of the registrars api's is pretty easy.
I made one like an year ago using dynadot's api. it did persistently try registering the domain. how fast? really depends on ur connection and dynadot servers bandwidth.

**ascii0101** · 11-03-2009, 10:24 PM

Domain Research Tool is alright but no one tool should be used so I do use some online services as well. I also use my bash/perl scripts

the registrar might also be limiting the number of requests per second.

A tool that I was using was sending requests to the Moniker api and I think they were limiting me to 1 request per second (or 2, not sure). Which really handicapped me, let alone that I never stood a chance of competing anyway, so I quit wasting my time

That's true. Not sure if you needed to sign anything to get into the Moniker API (the new program requires a simple contract to be signed), but when I signed up the contract had a clause saying the API couldn't be used for drop catching and there was a limit to how many queries could be done.

If you are doing this on a large scale, I'd recommend getting your own registrar

**chillking** · 11-04-2009, 03:38 PM

To be a .com register does it cost $25,000 ? Most drop catching companies work with lots of registers to up their chances.
