Godaddy backorder VS WWD backorder

[guiwang]

hello,
I know Godaddy and WWD is two different registerant.
But I still have question,I think both the Godaddy backorder and WWD backorder service use the same scripts,so if I put one name at Godaddy to catch and put the name name to WWD to catch,who will got the name?

I also have another question,there are many reseller of WWD,so I can put the same name to backorder at many reseller's web,right?

Thanks
Bean

Domain Alert is the same service at either GD or WWD. Any given domain name can only be backordered once.

Do you have a better chance at Godady than at Wild West? My understanding is yes. I was told by a WildWest reseller rep, that any name backordred at Godaddy has both registrars gunning for it. While any name backordered at WildWest only has WildWest trying to catch it. That really sucks if it is true.

eh... WWD is Godaddy! WWD is a subsidiary of GoDaddy company group that takes care of the reseller accounts. All WWD resellers use GoDaddys system, as far as I know.

Yes, but they are two completly separate registrars,

Welcome BTW

I understand they are formally, but if you look at their system, godaddy appears just to use the same as any reseller? the system for backordering will probably poll for changes in fixed intervals. I wouldn't think there is a difference even if they have two separate groups of people. unless they do this manually ofcourse..

Can we get some WWD personel to reply to these threads? It would be nice.

I don't know who said that GD has a better chance than WW resellers. I monitor the domains caught every day, and the ones that have been backordered through godaddy or ww, seem to mostly end up at reseller sites. Maybe that is because more resellers BO at the reseller sites, but of the 25 Great Backorders that I have seen GD?WW catch 14 have been through Domainut.com (WW Reseller), unluckily only one was mine

Hello, thanks for your reply.

Where do you get that information, it would be nice to take a look!

hehe, don't be sorry.. I had none BOs myself :cheesy:

godaddy has blue razor catch for them as well...

 

[Intrigue]

I asked for the same thing recently. I think that it is necessary to carry out normal transfer, as if both site haven't any relationship between them

Wild West is the best
The truth comes out...

I've spoken to people at both Gd support and WW support. You can place a backorder on the same name with both companies.

Although WW is owned by GD, they are both registrars in their own right.

As for which one is better, I don't know. I have had pretty much equal success with both so far....

I doubt that tech support has a clue. Do your own research. Use a domain that you own. Nobody else should have a backorder on the domain. check GD, then check a WW reseller site. See that the BO is available at both sites. Then place a BO on the domain at GD. Then go to WW and see that you cannot backorder it now. Works both ways.

If the domains can only be backordered at either or, then chances are they catch domains from one Backorder database using the connections of WW GD and BR.

people are saying GD/WWD BO isn't good. the good catchers are pool, snapnames, enom... so it doesnt really matter which of gd wwd is best, they are as equally bad kinda..

do you have any substantial info on this? URL's, links, something?

GD/WWD has three "known registrars" against pools 60+, enoms 27, snapnames 25.
According to http://whois-search.com/deleting/who.php

For info on enoms registrars check duke's excellent article at DNjournal at
http://dnjournal.com/columns/cover080504.htm

On the plus side for GD/WWD they are still one of the cheapest on the net for Backorders and they do grab some gems occasionally, but nowhere near the magnitude of the others with more of a registrar base.
