I want to buy a domain name which is currently register by someone; when i looked into the whois record i found this statement "Registrar History : 3 registrars with 2 drops." What does the above statement means; what is the impact on the domain name if the domain name is dropped. Thanx snow
It means that it was regisgered with registrar-1 (for exmple godaddy), then got dropped, acquired again with regstrar-2 (lets say enom), got dropped again and acquired again, now with mydomain... The impact is not really about the drop, it's about the time that it registered. Search engines prefer old domains. So if it was dropped at 1995 and reregistered at 1996, then dropped again at 1998 and reregistered at 2000 with no drops till today, the domain is 10 years old, which is VERY old...
I would recommend you check namepros forums. I have seen a lot of domain names there and lists of the domain names as well.
