GoDaddy Backordering

    Alright, tell me if I am wrong here...

    With SnapNames and Pool.com, you pay (minimum) $60 after successfully backordering a domain. With GoDaddy, you pay $20 upfront, but if your domain backorder is unsuccessful, you may continue to attempt to backorder domains until you are successful before having to pay $20 again.

    So basically, GoDaddy is cheaper?

    Yes but I have hardly heard of godaddy beating snapnames and pool. If it's a good domain, I wouldn't use godaddy.

    enom is also fast becoming an entity in snagging dropped domains, but pool and snapnames are the industry leaders

    Well, the way I look at it... if it isn't a near-premium domain worth at least $60, I doubt someone at Snapnames or Pool is going to want to pay the fee to snag it, so you can save cash by going with a GoDaddy backorder attempt.

    But as far as I understand, Godaddy only alows one backorder per domain. So you have to be fast in order to be the first one placing that backorder.

    That can be looked at as a good thing just as much as a bad.

    I assume godaddy is better because once you finally made it and the domain is yours , you get , if I am not mistaken , 1 year for free.
