    What exactly are pre-release domains ?

    What exactly are pre-release domains ?

    Is it like that GoDaddy and netsol feature that they get the names before sending them to the registry ?

    yes.

    They would rather sell them than just let them delete.

    That's nice when you're looking for domains on registrar-hold.
    Now you can anticipate to the drop catcher's auctions.

    So how do some of the names become "Private Auction" instead of Public Auction or Reverse Auctions?

    If you have to explain what your domain name means, give up, it's a crappy name!

    Private Auction is for those who backorder names. If multiple people backordered the same name, they will go in Private Auction. Reverse Auction are names that no one wants... but enom want to take the chance and grab them as they are dropped, and let people bid as it go down in price from $120 to $0. As for Public auction, it includes names that are from reverse auctions and as well as those pre-release ones. Hope it helps...

    If you buy a pre-release domain, you can't sell it as its being auction locked. It will be unlocked in 30-42 days I believe.
