Get one of 100 NamePursuit.com places before we fill up

[Omni]

true, but how is it cheaper with namepursuit?

 

[Brujah]

I don't think the goal of the site is buying Snapnames at a discount. The main idea I believe is to get an advantage by knowing what "good" names are dropping, before they've actually expired or entered the deletion cycle.

 

[Omni]

Hmm... we're back to square one again - if you know what names you want, why not just reg the "good" names yourself?

 

[Omni]

fact: it uses Snapnames
fact: it does NOT get you a discount with Snapnames
fact: it tracks 200000 names (or so it saids on the site)
fact: it regs the Snaps BEFORE it goes on hold
fact: YOU can also reg the Snaps BEFORE it goes on hold

fact: the only thing being offered here from what I can see is
a) that you get 200000 domain names tracked for you and you're probably still in competition with the other 100 users
b) that the service will reg the Snaps for you as a "favor"

question: so if you know which "good" names there are to reg, why not just reg it yourself? Maybe I'm missing the whole point but someone please explain it to me...

You mean YOU are back at square one ?
I think my attempts at answering the question were pretty clear. Its for people who want to know what the lists will contain. Not people who already know.

If you already know what names you want, you would reg them.

right... so under the service we assume that domainguru knows what we should want.

btw nice avatar you have there

Right now, I'd take some coffee. I hope he's brewed a fresh batch for us.

If I'm not missing something here.. How else would you find this information? I don't think any other free service provides lists of soon to be on hold domains.

Easy, go do a whois on any domain name and if it hasn't expired, it isn't on-hold - dnforum.com is a domain name that isn't on hold so anyone can do a snap on it right now for instance. Personally, I still don't get the point of the service, but maybe someone will prove me wrong.

Maybe its just a formula Lee worked out on how to predict the chances that an existing domain will not be renewed, and then put a snapback on it.

Personally, if I really wanted that name, I would just email the owner and try to grab it off cheap before it expires.

Understanding the human mind... I agree with what mole just said. What's your opinion of the service mole?

 

[mole]

No harm trying if you've got the extra change to spare Om. May learn a thing or two from Lee. I'm really not into the expired name game, so I can't really comment.

 

[Omni]

9 days into it... any comments? Brujah?

domainguru; wish you best of luck with your business.

I would guess the WLS announcement a few days ago would have some bearing on NamePursuit as an important factor of NP seems to be the early securing of SnapBacks on great names.

Although it has been categorically stated that SnapBacks will not been grandfathered into the WLS, Snap will be hoping it can flip as many SnapBacks into WLS slots when the floodgates open up.

An interesting matter to be resolved is what residual term of a SnapBack will be needed for Snap to try for a WLS slot for a customer? Will they require Snaps to be 'topped-up' or something like that if they're under say six months before the expiration of the SnapBack?
