123-reg domain watching

[Whois-Search]

This from 123-reg is a con by the way because any name pointing back to the Local DB / detagged it won't let you add ......... I tried it ages ago and asked for my money back - they are just banking on people that know nothing about domains to spend £15 on a domain they want >



*** DOMAIN WATCHING - SERVICE EXTENSION ***

Is the .co.uk, .org.uk or .me.uk domain name that you wanted already
taken? With 123-reg.co.uk you can now proactively watch domain names,
and have them registered as soon as they expire, are deleted, or
become available for any reason. Research shows that out of over 3
million .co.uk, .org.uk and .me.uk domains registered across the
world, only around 10% of these are being actively used. Many domains
are not renewed on expiry, or can suddenly become available for a
variety of reasons.

For just £15+VAT each (or buy 10 and get one free) you can set up your
Domain Watcher, and we will track your domain for a whole year and
secure it for you when it becomes available. You will only need to pay
the registration fee (at our regular, competitive rates) if you
successfully obtain the domain you are tracking.

This is an extension to our previous service which allowed you to
watch for .com .net and .org domains.

It allowed me to "watch" a detagged (suspended) .co.uk name yesterday. Perhaps they've changed their procedure...
