Tucows domain drops?

[jca]

Looking to catch a .co.uk domain that may be dropping. The listed registrar for the domain is Tucows, but when you check the domain at the Tucows site, the listed "Domain Provider" (reseller) for the domain is Misk.com.

I'm not familiar with catching dropping domains. Are Tucows expired domains all placed in auction at NameJet? Or will it go to a different preferred drop site of Misk? (I don't see a preferred drop associated with Misk.) How often does Tucows keep domains for itself to sell through YummyNames?

Bottom line, where/how should we go about acquiring this expiring .co.uk domain?

Appreciate any help/info.

Hi JCA,

If it is a .co.uk domain, it will simply drop. Our auction partner does not auction off that ccTLD. So use a dropcatching service that supports this ccTLD. Here are two .co.uk dropcatchers that I know of, but I have never used them and so I have no idea if they are any good:

Good luck!
