Hello; There's a domain in redemptation period which I want to register and waiting to be dropped. As far as I know Enom, SnapNames and Pool are ICANN partners so their cathing dropped domains for backordering is better but their price is higher too, minimum bids are about $60. The domain is a local domain, not English and also a .com domain. But there's a .net tld domain with the same name has been already registered by one of the big local hosting firms. So I think they are watching the .com domain to register too. Backordering with Enom, SnapNames and Pool is expensive so I'm considering backordering with GoDaddy by about $18. But: Question 1: What about checking the domain manually every day, at the last days of redemptation period checking every 3-4 hours and trying to register it? What are the chances versus GoDaddy backordering? Question 2: For example a domain dropped totally and returned to pool and backordered by GoDaddy. GoDaddy will register it in how much time? in seconds, minutes, hours? Generally of course, I guess it changes time to time. Question 3: Same question with Enom, SnapNames and Pool. How much times takes for ICANN partners to register a dropped domain? Seconds, minutes or hours? Question 4: So you know the case. What do you suggest?
Question 1: Not good idea. because if somebody else back-ordered it, they will get it before you. Question 2: Depend on the expire date of domain, its take 2 month for a .com to be deleted (after the expire date). once it has been deleted, it will be available for registration. Question 4: depend on where domain is currently registered. if its registered with enom as example, you can't back order it using godaddy, you have to use an enom partner, like SnapNames or JetNames.
