As most of my blog readers know, I work fulltime in education. Specifically I work for a high school in Illinois here we support over 1,400 computer nodes every day. As our user base’s needs increase, so does the need for emerging technology. We suspect over the course of two years approx we will have [...]

I haven’t blogged about expiring domains in a while because there hasn’t been much that’s caught my eye. I have been scanning the drop lists, but nothing’s really popped out at me. Or the quantity of quality domains I spotted seemed to vary between 0-2 a day. It must be my screening methods, but tonight [...]

I just received an email from Todd Han that Dynadot.com has now opened up it’s API to all users. This is great news for Dynadot customers who enjoy drop catching domains but were turned off by the $500 spending / pre payment. Now any Dynadot customer can tap right into the API system without having [...]

Hello, I have been working with a few beta testers who have been testing drop catching software for the Fabulous.com API. The Fab API is XML based & easy to use. The software I wrote is available at DropKing.com for purchase & immediate download. The software works on any windows based computer from windows 95 [...]

This struck me out of the blue a couple days ago. I was visiting Dynadot.com & checking out the marketplace domains. I noticed something new, which seemed to be a pending delete tab which allowed me to backorder domains @ $11.75 USD a pop. I noticed that they have listed the entire pending delete lists [...]

I have been catching dropping domains for a few years now. It’s often times I see others going through the same struggles I did & this topic takes years to understand. There’s a lot of myths floating around the forums. First off, the meaning of drop catching, drop catcher is a term to label the [...]

It’s rare, but does happen. The domain name: PGR.NET has hit pending delete & is scheduled to drop on: Feb 3rd – Tomorrow! It will be interesting to see who snags it & what the final bid price will be. I’m guessing Pool or Snapnames grabs it. Maybe namejet. It’s a loss for the owner [...]

Onlinenic.com has had some past with copyright infringing domains. In the upcoming drop lists, the domain name: flikr.net has managed to be one of the drops that caught my eye. I have been working on a new tool & monitoring the spikes of views on the drop lists. Sure enough – as far as I [...]

I captured these 3 domains today: wedlin.com gazeboes.net permissions.us That’s all I was chasing for today & managed to grab 100%. Wedlin.com doesn’t look promising at all. My hope is to sell it to an end user. Perhaps someone with the surname Wedlin may become attracted to the domain or was waiting for it to [...]

I was able to secure these domains on the drop today: berrettas.com pewits.com sarsens.com gleets.com Probably not the best selection, but for reg fee @ Dynadot.com, I’ll keep them & see what happens. The quality in the drops just seems to get better by the day Have fun drop catching!
