Predict The Drop Order Of .COM & .NET Expiring Domains

Everyday there are between 50,000 – 100,000 .com & .net domains that “drop” & become available for hand registration.

Each domain drops in a certain order and is generally available to anyone. It becomes a game of luck the micro second the domain is released. From that point on, it’s a free for all & only the best survive.

I started the service: DNMeter.com which not only shows you the order in which .com & .net domains are dropped from the central registry – but also time stamps the drops. It may be off by (5-10 minutes) but overall is very easy to follow.

Having the exact time that a domain expires helps you secure valuable names for cheap! Maybe just maybe, there’s a domain that you’d like to backorder at the major backorder services. After using the drop order list, you stand a way better chance to catch a domain for $x.xx vs paying $xx.xx for an expired domain backorder.

You’d be surprised to see what you can do with this “extra tool” to assist your drop catching ;)
