I do not typically use domain catching services.
I reg all names by hand and have had very good luck over the years doing some research on what names I want.


I coded a script a few weeks ago.
what it does it allow you to put in a list of domain names (onces that are pending delete and expiring anytime) , I then choose a timeframe I want to check them...ie every 30 seconds, minute, 2 minutes, etc..
Then click a button and walk away.
If any of the domains become available I get an immediate email send to me from my server with the name thats available.

I beat out alot of people using this.

I just want to know if there is any interest in other people using this ? If so ill put a small price on the script and sell some copies of it.

here is a screenshot

of course i will let interested parties test a demo.
its nothing fancy, just does what its coded to do.

**1 new thing i am adding is when i receive the email it will have a some options for registration...ie godaddy,namecheap, etc..
thanks

Yes, I would be interested in testing it out.
 
Unless you have a direct API to a registrar, queries that simply perform a WHOIS for manual registrations won't beat SnapNames, Pool or other such companies. It might beat you and I that check a domain by hand.
 
I see the value as being primarily on those I am on the fence about. If I miss it, oh well. But I would rather pay $9 for it than $69.

correct, this is not an attempt to beat capture services.

correct, I use it for that reason among others.

here is the script for you to test. Ill leave it here for a few days.

1.remember this is on my host, and i use it just for myself, when you test it make sure you hit the start over so it kills your session.
Also the alerts go to my email address for available domains.

Just a FYI - I have moved the script...too many people doing crazy things with it on my server.
 
Worked like a champ for 3500 queries :D
 
lol. i had people running it like crazy, also looking up not so nice named domain names pointed at me which would get sent to my email.
So since some people couldnt play nice....i moved it.
